- Rain Dogs LyricsInside a broken clock
splasjing the wine with all the Rain Dogs...
Taxi we'd rather walk
huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs...
For I am a Rain Dog too!
Oh how we danced and we swallowed the nights
for it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh how we danced away all of the lights
we've always been out of our minds
The rum pours strong and thin
beat out the dustman with a Rain Dog...
Aboard a shipwreck train
give my umbrella to a Rain Dog...
For I am a Rain Dog too
Oh how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
her long hair black
as a raven
Oh how we danced and she wispered
to me
You'll never be goin back home!!
splasjing the wine with all the Rain Dogs...
Taxi we'd rather walk
huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs...
For I am a Rain Dog too!
Oh how we danced and we swallowed the nights
for it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh how we danced away all of the lights
we've always been out of our minds
beat out the dustman with a Rain Dog...
Aboard a shipwreck train
give my umbrella to a Rain Dog...
For I am a Rain Dog too
Oh how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
her long hair black
as a raven
Oh how we danced and she wispered
to me
You'll never be goin back home!!
