Does it rain like it rains here on 5th street?   Nine days long the rain drops finding what's wrong with   This roof I've raised over my head   Does time fly like it does here on the 2nd floor?   Five ways to go but only one place to be   If only I could get there from here   If only I could get there today   If only I could get there today      Wish it was simple like a train   Ride behind windows, invisible   While towns pass like sand through fingers      Wish it was simple like color   Flashes in the soul   Like telephones connected to imaginary friends   You might not know how it gets   You might not know how it gets   You might not know       And if it was simple like a smile   On paper plate faces instead of pages   Of songs with no words      Does it rain like it does here on 5th street?   Nine days long the rain drops finding what's wrong with   This roof I've raised over my head   If only I could get out of here today   Wish I could get out of here today   If only I could get out of here today
