Lyrics

NEED A RAINCOAT

I begin to worry because I?m thinking about us and the sky it does darken
In the horizon the rain starts washing the dust down once again
I finally run home just like when I was little in kindergarten
I don?t want to get washed away in thoughts of us now and then
I don?t care to feel that pin prick of provoking
I don?t want to take that kind of soaking

I need a raincoat
Even if it?s rough and scratchy
I need a raincoat
Or the skin of a huge snake
I need a raincoat
I?ll take it plastic cold and slimy
If it protects me, from remembering you, and how you hurt me, baby
I need a raincoat

I splashed around the town as you floated away casually
And time eventually spilled the big bucket of our good memories
I wanted to confront you like lightning hitting a huge tree
But I didn?t want to get drenched in pleading for you and me
I didn?t want to feel the shower of suffering
And I didn?t want to have to wade around in all the moping

I need a raincoat
Even if it?s rough and scratchy
I need a raincoat
Or the skin of a huge snake
I need a raincoat
I?ll take it plastic cold and slimy
If it protects me, from remembering how you hurt me, baby
I need a raincoat

I?ll need to get a big old yellow raincoat now that we are not going to be a couple
I could run straight through the brown mud and the biggest puddles
My heart could learn to try to be more like bouncy rubber
I would give up on figuring you out like you were a life size puzzle
I don?t care to face the truth and hear the explosion
And I don?t want to feel the waterfall emotion

I need a raincoat
Even if it?s rough and scratchy
I need a raincoat
Or the skin of a huge snake
I need a raincoat
I?ll take it plastic cold and slimy
I need a shelter to protect me, from remembering how you hurt me, baby
I need a raincoat
