It soon appears
   Long rented shores
   Too big to name
   And second to none
  
   Save horses' hair
   In pockets deep
   Remember skies
   Second to none
  
   Black rain
   Black rain will come
   Black rain
   Black rain will come
  
   Word to the wise
   Don't you sit on this fence
   Electric and live
   With evangelistic zeal
  
   Spin doctors gave you
   All those remedies to choose
   So you'd be the weathervane
   For clouds that never move
  
   Black rain
   Black rain will come
   Black rain
   Black rain will come
  
   To break it down gently
   To wash it down slow
   Goin' straight to the bottom
   With a mind . . . . of it's own
  
   Black rain
   Black rain
   Black rain will come
   Black rain
   Black rain
   Black rain will come
   Black rain
   Black rain
   Black rain will come
  
   Black rain will come
