Rum Devil

Before the rain began to fall

I felt it on my hands

I remember how it trembled

As it rolled from lake to land

And when the rain began to fall

I watched it from the stands

It was a storm unborn

First a drop cooled that spot

Forefinger and thumb

Took me from a book

And gave me the look of someone rum

And as I prowled beneath the clouds

I was proud to hear them drum

Cause it's a storm to be born

No, we can't know what's coming

We have a hard enough time

With what's already here

But I've got a dime for the devil

If he can get me through the year

Then the rain began to fall

It was something to behold

The city air was electric

With our metric measured cold

And when we let that teacup fall

We all did what we were told

Cause we were born to raise that storm

No, we can't know what's coming

We have a hard enough time

With what's already here

But I've got a dime for the devil

If he can get me through the year

If he can get me through the year

If he can get me through the year
