I hear the Seven Deadly Sins
And the Terrible Twins came to call on you
The bigger they are, baby
The harder they fall on you
And you, you're always the same, you persevere
On the same old pleasure ground
Oh and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down

You had no more volunteers
So you got profiteers for to help you out
Well with friends like that, baby
Good friends you had to do without
And now they've taken the chains and the gears
From off your merry-go-round
Oh and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down

Now I hear your new Romeo
Was just a gigolo when he let you down
See the faster they are babe
The faster they get out of town
Leaving make-up stains and the tears of a clown
Yes and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down
