it was on the news today:
there's something in the rain
making the people strange
from Paris to the Hague
and they told us to stay inside
until the rain subsides...
the radio dies
and nobody knows how long we will wait
Europe's been struck with Alice's rain
and we have never been so awake
and we're at one with everything
so why don't we just sit and watch the days?
roll by... roll by
and soon the world is brought to a complete stop.
and crows fall from the sky;
the summer air is ripe and fallen to the ground.
and who can find the will to lie?
to tear apart the golden rye
to hurt each other when there's so much sound...
behind our eyes!
and we still don't know who's responsible
and at this point, it doesn't really matter...
'cause we are too far gone
we are gone; we are gone... we're gone!
we are gone!
and nobody knows how long we will wait
the world's been struck with Alice's rain
and we have never been so awake
and we're at one with everything
so why don't we just sit and watch the days?
roll by... roll by
roll by, roll by
roll by, roll by.
