Standing in the Rain Lyrics
I know you’d like to see me crawling on the floor
But I ain’t going down to your level no more
With your English manners and your father’s eyes
So full of fire so full of lies

What good is money if you ain’t got class
Like a car without brakes going too fast
You have breeding you say and love champagne
But in my eyes you’re slightly insane

You left me standing
You left me standing
Standing in the rain
So alone
So far away from home

Heard your flamenco boyfriend got busted
Well he was one gypsy I never trusted
Always thought he played out of tune
Banging away on his plastic spoons

Told me he preferred casual sex the best
Had no time for romance and the rest
And all those time consuming games
Said he never could remember names

He left you standing
He left you standing
Standing in the rain
So all alone
So far away from home

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree
It’s getting hard to see past all this debris
We had each other once many moons ago
But the road is blocked by rocks and fallen snow

We have our liberty but we are not free
We’re chained to our past and to our memories
Nostalgia distorts the past inside your brain
It’s almost impossible to break these chains

We’re left here standing
We’re left here standing
Standing in the rain
So all alone
So far away from home
Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
