Bruce Springsteen - Rainmaker lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Rainmaker lyrics]
Parched crops dying 'neath a dead sun
We've been praying but no good comes
The dog's howling, home's stripped bare
We've been worried but now we're scared
People come for comfort or just to come
Taste the dark sticky potion
Or hear the drums
Hands raised to Yahweh to bring the rain down
He comes crawlin' 'cross the dry
Fields like a dark shroud
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve in
Something so bad, so bad, so bad
They'll hire a rainmaker
Rainmaker says white's black
And black's white
Says night's day and day's night
Says close your eyes and go to sleep now
I'm in a burnin' field unloadin'
Buckshot into low clouds
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
Rainmaker, take everything you have
Sometimes folks need to believe in
Something so bad, so bad, so bad
They'll hire a rainmaker
Slow moving wagon drawing through a dry town
Painted rainbow, crescent moon
And dark clouds
Brother patriot, come forth and lay it down
Your blood brother for king and crown
For your rainmaker
They come for the smile, the firm handshake
They come for the raw chance of a fair shake
Some come to make damn sure, my friend
This mean season's got nothin'
To do with them
They come 'cause they can't stand the pain
Of another long hot day of no rain
'Cause they don't care or understand
What it really takes for the sky
To open up the land
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
Rainmaker, take everything you have
Sometimes folks need to believe in
Something so bad, so bad, so bad
They'll hire a rainmaker rainmaker
Rainmaker rainmaker
We've been praying but no good comes
The dog's howling, home's stripped bare
We've been worried but now we're scared
People come for comfort or just to come
Taste the dark sticky potion
Or hear the drums
Hands raised to Yahweh to bring the rain down
He comes crawlin' 'cross the dry
Fields like a dark shroud
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve in
Something so bad, so bad, so bad
They'll hire a rainmaker
Rainmaker says white's black
And black's white
Says night's day and day's night
Says close your eyes and go to sleep now
I'm in a burnin' field unloadin'
Buckshot into low clouds
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
Rainmaker, take everything you have
Sometimes folks need to believe in
Something so bad, so bad, so bad
They'll hire a rainmaker
Slow moving wagon drawing through a dry town
Painted rainbow, crescent moon

Brother patriot, come forth and lay it down

They come for the raw chance of a fair shake
