A Place in the Rain Joe Jackson

[Verse 1]
Turn off the TV and turn off the light
Turn off the street lamps as well
Turn off the billboards that scream through the night
And dream the policemen to hell

[Verse 2]
Close all the windows and close all the doors
Close all the shutters and blinds
Close down the churches and pray to the whores
Lay down and then close your eyes

[Chorus]
It's amazing what comes into view
As we're finally breaking the chains
When the temperature rises
We'll go to our place in the rain

[Verse 3]
Take down the pictures and take out the trash
Take up the tattered old rugs
Take up the mattress and count all the cash
And laugh with the last of the drugs

[Verse 4]
Burn all the papers and burn all the wood
Burn what we can't understand
Run up a flag for the old neighbourhood
Sit back and then take my hand
