I gotta bent up truck, gotta fix-it-up   So I set it on the backyard lawn   Put the radio loud in the window    I tuned it into rock   Now I'm patiently waitin' on music   But the DJ rambled and sang   And it was blowin' in a brass sky   But it won't rain      A bright-eyed woman on the hour   Brings a glass of tea   And I can tell she's as pretty as a flower   When she comes to me   She winds away the water    From my eyes and soothes my brain   And it was blowin' in a brass sky   But it won't rain      And it won't rain for tryin'    And it won't rain for beans   There's fear in the sky   A big storm is what it means      Waitin' out the weather   By workin' on the truck   We get to hang out together   Can't believe this luck      Glass is fine by the hour   But don't match with mine   It got wrecked playin' sailor in the shower   Last Christmas time   The song's written in another language   But the weather forecast is plain   It was blowin' in a brass sky   But it won't rain      And it won't rain for tryin'   And it won't rain for beans   Well it's a bad day for flyin'   But they won't fly with me    Starin' at the boats and planes   That are stayin' on the ground   Another won't leave it's hidin'   Til the wind turns 'round      A bright-eyed woman in the kitchen   Cooks up a kiss of death   Boilin' up mango, crab and coconut   And includin' cinnamon bread   But she drops the pan and says   Paranoia is out and breeds like a runaway train   And it was blowin' in a brass sky   But it won't rain      And it won't rain for tryin'   And it won't rain for beans   Well it's a bad day for flyin'   They won't fly with me, no   Starin' at the boats and planes   Stayin' on the ground   Another won't leave it's hidin'   Til the wind turns 'round
