The Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It smells like rain today
Hope it wash the Sun away
So lay your body down
In the gutter where I try
To find shelter from the torrid Sun
That makes us all undone
It's the Sun that burns the green grass
But also dries your eyes
A marching band's on the street
In the city that always sleeps
A bitter sweet rhapsody
Leads you straight into agony
So lay your body down
In the gutter where I am
35 degrees and even more
It's the Sun that kills us all
It's the Sun that gives us everyone
The feeling that we're all
It's the Sun- it's the Sun-it's the Sun
Went out and had a fight
Now I look you in the eyes
You testified your love
And proved that I'm undone
Oh did it with my best friend's wife
It felt like paradise
But now I burn down like the Sun
I burn down like the Sun
A marching band's on the street
In the city that always sleeps
A bitter sweet rhapsody
Leads your straight into agony
So lay your body down
In the gutter where I am
35 degrees and even more
It's the Sun that kills us all
It's the Sun that gives us everyone
The feeling that we're all undone
It's the Sun that makes us shiver
Makes us equal but also shiver
