[Verse 1]
I was fishing for my diamond ring when I found you instead
Just a stranger from a foreign spring before the zombies broke in
You took my hand and you drove me to the rite of passage
But when I closed my eyes you just shook my hand and walked away
And I awoke from a sleepless casket to the sound of gunfire
Down below on the Rio Grande I saw people floating by
Now I recalled revelations of a thousand countries
But in the dying dream I could only hear you sweetly sigh
[Chorus 1]
Now there were
So many scared ugly people hiding in the railyards
And so many scared ugly people running away
So many scared ugly people mailing them postcards
Well me, I just wanted to rest in peace that day
[Verse 2]
I resigned to my feral state, where I ate the scales off of snakeskin
That was when I found the city gate, and the lock was a-broken
Now for a second there I swear I was on some grand vacation
But when I found your place I was greeted by a pair of holes
I screamed your name from the old gazebo to some flies of town square
And I ran down to the stream that night and I saw you dancing there
You told me I did great, you said nice job, congratulations
But when I jumped to your embrace all I felt were your rushing waves
[Chorus 2]
Now I admit so many times I wanted to bite you
I admit so many times I cried
And I admit for so long I've been trying to find you
But only now I've been wondering why
[Verse 3]
Have you ever found peace of mind from a rock in motion?
Have you ever felt an honest breath from a fire approaching?
I tried to fly upstream but the current's always flyin' faster
So when I changed my wing I was captain of the breathing sea
I'll roll down this Rio Grande until I find mine ocean
And I know it's hard, it's so hard to judge, but I know I'm getting close
You see, yesterday I found a seashell in the river basin
And from its spirally depths I could almost hear my diamond ring
[Chorus 3]
So, so long to all you scared ugly people
And so long to Mr. and Mrs. "I Wanna Quit And Rot Away"
So long to everyone who thinks that they're a nomad and
Say hello to Mr. "Going To Walk This Rain" (yeah)
To Mr. "Going To Walk This Rain"
To Mr. "Going To Walk This Rain"
