[Verse 1]
It's midnight downtown
It's been raining for days
Rain beats down
It covers the streets with its sparkling skin
In the deli purple light
A woman in a party dress pays for some milk
Yellow cab stops for a light
Two men in black hats are running
A messenger on a bike
Pile-drivers pounding
They've set up some lights
They're digging a hole
It's filling up with black water
[Chorus]
Rainy days
Rainy nights
Steam rises, covers the city
[Verse 2]
Pieces of old newspaper floats
Like little paper boats
They slide along the rushing water in the gutter
[Chorus]
Rainy days
Rainy nights
Rain falls down and covers the city
It falls from fabulous heights
Covers the streets with its sparkling skin
[Verse 3]
And over on Jane street
They're shooting that movie again
Ah, they just can't seem to get it right
Behind a warehouse
In a burned out building
A man is sleeping
In a cardboard box
On a pile of salt
[Chorus]
Rainy days
Rainy nights
Rain falls down and covers the city
It falls from fabulous heights
Covers the streets with its sparkling skin
[Verse 4]
A man on a park bench
He sits in the pouring rain
In the meat markets
Photographer's lights
Flash in the windows
On Washington Street
A rat runs 'round the corner
Looking for something to eat
