Lay back and suffer now I get tired of the heart attacks Every time it rains Put myself on the waiting list And get it all cleared up You're the one with the attitude Don't try and make me out To be the root of the evil and A whole lot other stuff

Reckless serenade I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need Call up to listen to the voice of reason Topless models Doing semaphore Wave their flags as she walks by And get ignored Illuminations On a rainy day

I need, I need her, I need her love. She gives me love that I could never hope to have, She tells me that she needs me,she tells me that she's glad, And if she goes away, I'm like someone who's left out in the rain, She came in from the west, a summer

She is raging And so she woke up Woke up from where she was Lying still Said I gotta do something About where we're going Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain, maybe Run from the darkness in the night

Love's still in my brain I'm gon' fill this up, you gon' roll this up Driver pulling up with no delay We gon' throw it up, now we feel the rush Never gave a fuck 'bout what they say This what we living for We fall in love every single night and every day

That's just what you do When you're at the bottom It sure could drain a man About as empty as these beer cans Yeah, this time it's it, I'm callin' it quits I'm not turnin' her on anymore She packed up the same ol' stuff And slammed the same ol' door And

Fluffy clouds Jumping rainbows Alcohol on my hands I got plans To ditch myself and get outside Dancing women Throwing plates Decapitating their laughing dates Swirling chickens caught in flight

Watched it pour as I touched your face Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name I set fire to the rain Let it burn That I never knew, never knew All the things you'd say They were never true, never true

And the rain will fall, it falls for you. And the clouds will break into tears, You should be here standing so near to me. 'Cept I know you should be sad But give me time alone to get it out of my mind. Though say I know it's only the weather. 'Cause

Here we are talking about forever Both know damn well it's not easy together We've both felt love We've both felt pain I'll take the sunshine over the rain And I'll try to love only you And I'll try my best to be true Oh darling I'll try
