BLOOD RED POP - This is a very old story told in a very odd way.
Story behind the song
Hmmm, I'm not sure...maybe the sense that I'm not very well understood.
Lyrics
The Old Rainman
Well, I saw him in a desert,
This old dude from outer space
He had one eye in the heavens
And the other in my face!
Well, I took him for a simpleton,
Yeah, he musta been a fool,
I said, "Old man, what are you seeing!"
He said, "Im seeing something true!"
Chorus: "It's gonna rain!"
I reached for an umbrella,
He shouted out so loud,
I said, "Creep me out, old fella,
I can feel your thundercloud,
But we we're standing in a desert,
And the sky is blue not grey!"
He just turned his cold eyes on me,
And he shouted out again:
Chorus: "It's gonna rain!"
I noticed just behind him,
This boat out in the sand,
Clearly it was his boat,
Clearly he was mad!
So I took a big step backwards,
And turned around to run!
While he shouted like a madman,
Beneath the blazing sun!
Chorus: "it's gonna rain!"
Now I wouldnt tell this story,
But last evening there were clouds,
And since five oclock this morning,
The rains been pelting down,
I remember what he yelled out,
As I hear this torrents roar:
You better come into the Ark,
Before it starts to pour!
