Bed clothes, why am I in bed clothes? 
Watching out the window 
Watching what I don't know 
On the fire escape now 
Hands they start to shake now 
Ready for the rail to break now 
And I'm awake at last awake 

Cursing, rattling and cursing 
Go ahead and do your worst then 
Your worst that I can take 

Oh let the rain fall down 
And wash this world away 
Oh let the sky be grey 
Cause if it's ever gonna get any better 
It's gotta get worse for a day 

Morning, where am I this morning? 
Now it's really pouring, 
Crawling up this shore 
And I walk the neighborhood 
And umbrella does no good 
And I guess it's in my blood 
Couldn't stop the flood 

Drowning, everything is drowning 
Go ahead and take the town 
The town is yours to take 

Oh let the rain fall down 
And wash this world away 
Oh let the sky be grey 
Cause if it's ever gonna get any better 
It's gotta get worse for a day 

Calling, calling, falling, falling 
Grab on my guitar 
And paddle with both my arms 
Headed where the voices are 
I'll end up far so far away 

Oh let the rain fall down 
And wash this world away 
Or let the sky be grey 
Cause if it's ever gonna get any better 
It's gotta get worse for a day 

It's gotta get worse for a day 
It's gotta get worse for a day 
It's gotta get worse for a day 
I know 
It's gotta get worse for a day
