Call the Rain Down

from Lesser Tragedies by A Metropolitan Guide

/

lyrics

We gaze upon Poseidon as he towers overhead
Is this not your very kingdom from what all the legends said?
But we’ll continue treadin’ on your dignity for your crown
But for tonight, call the rain down

Lightning off the coast like a twelfth man on the field
Or an out of place stop sign that really should be yield
The unknown dangers of kicking soccer balls around
But for tonight, call the rain down

There’ll come a time when memories aren’t enough to carry on
And victory is easy to recall
They’ll realize it was the wrong station all along
But for tonight, call the rain down

The band made their way across the vast and dusty plains
Where the water was as scarce as a well-kept interstate
The band made its way through the congested little towns
But for tonight, call the rain down

The return trip was a little bit like gambling with ghosts
At least when you’re out there all alone, you win more than most
It wasn’t long until they saw their train had come and gone
But for tonight, call the rain down
