Justin Vernon Drinking This Rain-I'm On Fire Lyrics

With the cornfields as my witness I've run out of brain Come on down to the place where I'm drinking Come on down like the rain

And if you don't come quick I'm gonna dry up in this world I think it's all coming down All cause of a girl

And it's coming to me Like a baseball to a bat I'm only hitting .118 And I'm wondering where you're at

And the oak on the bar Is like the oak in my heart And like the oak buried deep down in the sand I got a water at heart...

And it goes in through my mouth And it slides into my veins And it takes away my head I don't have to feel the same

And my eyes go red And my skin goes warm And at the end of the night I'm just cryin' in my bed

Some call it sick Some call it pain Some just laugh at it But honey, it's like the rain It's like when thirsty And there's none in the well
It's like bringing darkness When darkness has already fell It's like breaking dreams of a broken man And nothing makes it come on down Like the rain came...

Hey little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go on and leave you all alone? I got a bad desire Ooh, I'm on fire

Tell me, now, baby, is he good to you? Can he do to you the things I don't do? You know I can take you higher Mmm, I'm on fire.

It's like someone took a knife, maybe edges are dull Cut a six inch vetter through the middle of my skull

And at night I wake up with the sheets soakin wet And a freight train runnin' through the middle of my head An' you can cool my desire Mmm, I'm on fire. Ooh, I'm on fire. Ooooh, I'm on fire.
