Turn off the TV and turn off the light   Turn off the street lamps as well   Turn off the billboards that scream through the night   And dream the policemen to hell      Close all the windows and close all the doors   Close all the shutters and blinds   Close down the churches and pray to the whores   Lay down and then close your eyes      It's amazing what comes into view   As we're finally breakin' the chains   When the temperature rises   We'll go to our place in the rain      Take down the pictures and take out the trash   Take up the tattered old rugs   Take up the mattress and count all the cash   And laugh with the last of the drugs      Burn all the papers and burn all the wood   Burn what we can't understand   Run up a flag for the old neighborhood   Sit back and then take my hand      'Cause it's amazing what lovers can do   With just a kiss and a glass of champagne   When the rivers run dry   We can go to our place in the rain      Pay off the piper and pay all the bills   Pay for the getaway car   Blow out the candles and head for the hills   Pray that we make it that far      Run from the poison and run from the flames   Run from the maddening crowd   Laugh at the whispers of who'll take the blame   And sing all the sinners out loud      It's amazing what crazy can do   When every good citizen's sane   When heaven's a desert   We'll go to our place in the rain      It's amazing what comes into view   When you just connect your heart back to your brain   When heaven's a desert   We'll go to our place in the rain
