Like a troupe of clowns
Peekin' out of a show man's car
Through cabbage town...
You feel a cold wind blow
Through your open mind
The end is about to start
So you shut it hard...
As the weather girl predicts:
Conducting the clouds with her stick
The day will be clear'n'funny
- Before it rains...
Written in water
Yeah, it's bound to disappear
Written in water
Down the crater of your ear
As long as the flavor lasts
In c-h-e-w-i-n-g gum
As long as we float around
This golf ball sun...
The light to replace the day
Is ten shades of gray
A kiss removes the skin
Shows you where you've been
Under the ultra-violet ray
A rule every fool obeys
Hold up your name in fire
- Before it rains...
Written in water
Yeah, it's bound to disappear
Written in water
Written on a wave of fear..
Written in water
Yeah, it's bound to disappear
Down-the-velvet-crater-of-your-ee-aa-rrr
Yeah, written in water
It's bound to disappear
Written in water
Written on a wave of fear
Written in water
It's bound to disappear
Down the velvet crater of your ear
Iiiiiiiiiiiihhjairr!... Written in water
