Kitt F-C - Rainy Night Lyrics

Mama, mama look, no hands
I'm keeping track of my mistakes
Another empty bank account
Too many nights that I've spent out
But where's the threshold on my health, when I'm betting on a wishing well
Gish-galloping charlatans standing all day on platforms of debate
Throw another tantrum whenever they find that public life just ain't no cake
Walkin' across the frozen lake

Merry Christmas
Happy New Year
It seems these days just run you down

Get yo punk ass on the charts
Some people need to make a living
There's a woman who loves me so
I'm damned if I let the other ones know
Damned if I make up my mind
Never had to be so cruel just to be kind
What might help me sleep tonight
You could stay with me and I could drink
All I really need is just to gaze across the waters one more time
Maybe these rainy days have caused my heart to shrink

Merry Christmas
Happy New Year
The games we played just ran us down
I'm off to sleep without a sound

You tell me that a man of my background shouldn't be filled with all this Catholic guilt
So tell me what I should have wanted, before I give in to my yawning
I laid you down just a little too good, and now I can't crawl back to the life I promised her this morning
Oh I wish that it could turn out that my mistakes were all dreams
'Cause a lesson learned while sleeping has no casualties
