VERSE 1:
- Let me pour out my bleeding heart
- It was all fucked up from the start
- I was just trying to play my part
- And they say it ain't the winning that counts
- It's the taking part
- But when you lose
- Maintaining's hard
- And if you choose to complain, they laugh
- At your pain
- So you pick up the pipe
- Put the needle to the vein
- It's same old saying
- "I've seen it all before
- And I'm sure that I'll see it again"
- Strange days
- When people act in strange ways
- And end up locked in Strangeways for the way they behaved
- The sky's always a shade of grey
- That's why I'm trying to make my pay
- And escape the UK
- It's a love-hate relationship
- No doubt
- Do I want to stay?
- Nah, I want to break out
- 'Cause the rain clouds overhead
- Got me feeling dread
- Got me feeling like I'm already dead
- Nothing left to lose
- If it was left to you
- Would you ever try and step in my shoes?
- And finish my work
- If I was under the dirt?
- There's only so many bridges
- And that's another that's burnt
- And I can confirm my fears
- I've been feeling the hurt for years
- Dealing with my people, and my peers
- And the cries for help
- Falling on deaf ears
- I guess everything most end here
- And it must end now
- Shut shop 'cause I'm closing down
- I'm broken down
- I hope that there's no one around
- To see my
CHORUS:
- Tears in rain
- Dealing with the years of pain
- I'm still here trying to maintain
- It's the same old same
- It's always the same
- It don't change
- Tears in rain
- Dealing with the years of pain
- I'm still here trying to maintain
- Still here trying to play the game
- Still rolling the dice
- Gambling
- Not knowing the price
- And if there really is a God
- I must owe her my life
- If there's a God
- Then I owe my life
VERSE 2:
- Enemy or friend?
- Friend or enemy?
- I touch tracks tenderly with a suicidal tendency
- And when I'm gone nobody can feel the vacancy
- They'll never say I was a victim of complacency
- In the place to be seen
- I was home banging beats, bagging trees
- Trying to make ends meet
- The only way I know how for now
- I couldn't stay at my mum's
- I moved out of the house
- I'm too proud
- Grafting to earn a pound
- And it's my own little niche that I'm carving out
- Don't ask about the ups and downs
- Can't you see, that I'm still trying to turn my frown upside down
- I cry the tears of a clown
- Tears in the rain
- I'm like a dusty old photo in a rusty frame
- Of an old relative
- Of whom you can't remember the name
- But if it wasn't for me
- Then things just wouldn't be the same
CHORUS:
- Tears in rain
- Dealing with the years of pain
- I'm still here trying to maintain
- It's the same old same
- It's always the same
- It don't change
- Tears in rain
- Dealing with the years of pain
- I'm still here trying to maintain
- Still here trying to play the game
- Still rolling the dice
- Gambling
- Not knowing the price
- And if there really is a God
- I must owe her my life
- If there's a God
- Then I owe my life
