Lyrics
Break It Down Gently
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 soon appears
Long rented shores
Too big to name
And second to none
Save horses' hair
In pockets deep
Remember skies
Second to none
Black rain
Black rain will come
Black rain
Black rain will come
Word to the wise
Don't you sit on this fence
Electric and live
With evangelistic zeal
Spin doctors gave you
All those remedies to choose
So you'd be the weathervane
For clouds that never move
Black rain
Black rain will come
Black rain
Black rain will come
To break it down gently
To wash it down slow
Goin' straight to the bottom
With a mind . . . . of it's own
Black rain, Black rain, Black rain will come X3
Black rain will come
