we just started - i can’t handle this don’t make me put this paper down just for a thrill every day i’ve got the blues you said that before but i loved the sound of the rain you were always thrill crazy, doris that’s why i wanted you to stay away from millicent go away, kid, you bother me that was my grandpa’s solution to everything i know i am repeating myself but can’t you see i’m busy no, how was i supposed to know? you never gave me a chance never gave me a chance to show what i could do you should have spoken up because every day i had the blues i had dreams once thrilling, indescribable dreams such as no one ever had before put that paper down and listen to me i was always told to go away and stop bothering people but i craved excitement oh, forget you ever knew me! but i loved the sound of the rain it is so easy to forget and that, really, is all there is to it

as a child i always hated the law of gravity and had dreams of burrowing to the center off the earth while dad read his newspaper if i ever get the chance and i am not too busy that day i will tell jody to go away and stop bothering me how was i supposed to know they were caught making whoopee behind the bandstand but they gave me my first big break every day i’ve got the blues and every day i look for a new thrill they tell me i should know better i had dreams once, big dreams you would laugh if i told you i know, i know, you’ve heard it all before as a child i hated the chains of society and being told i should keep busy but i loved the sound of the rain this world isn’t big enough for me i heard that lonesome whistle blow you haven’t heard it quite the same way i was a strange child as you know all too well don’t make me point my steely gaze at you forget you ever knew me just a guy who went looking for thrills but was never too busy to help a pal
