And it keeps on raining
Walls are falling
Light is waning
Hearts are crumbling
And their fingers fumble gracelessly
With their buttons, zippers, jacket pockets
Nervous, they just want to see
The girl who said she could fly

As it keeps on raining
Her knees are bent
And their necks are craning
As the levee breaks

And the sky is graying
Curtains closing
On the dozing
People who're too blind to see
The crowd outside their windows
Dressed in black already, or so it seems
They'll surely want their money back
Unless someone starts this blasted act

The girl who said she could fly

As the sky keeps graying
She's poised and ready
As they hold steady
Their gaze upon her
And the levee breaks
