Portland Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Portland Rain
A baby born will die before the sin
Portland Rain
The school books say it can't be here again
Portland Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went
Portland Rain
Build a tent and say the world is dry
Portland Rain
Zoom the camera out and see the lie
Portland Rain
Forecast to be falling yesterday
Portland Rain
Only in the past is what they say
Portland Rain
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
Portland Rain
Makes us happy 'livin in a gate
Portland Rain
Made me cross the street the other day
Portland Rain
Made you turn your head the other way
(Chorus)
Portland Rain
History quickly crashing through your veins
Portland Rain
Using you to fall back down again
[Repeat]
Portland Rain
Seldom mentioned on the radio
Portland Rain
Its the fear your leaders call control
Portland Rain
Worse than swearing worse than calling names
Portland Rain
Say it publicly and you're insane
Portland Rain
No one wants to hear about it now
Portland Rain
Wish real hard it goes away somehow
Portland Rain
Makes the best of friends begin to fight
Portland Rain
But did they know each other in the light?
Portland Rain
Every February washed away
Portland Rain
Stays behind as colors celebrate
Portland Rain
The same crime has a higher price to pay
Portland Rain
The judge and jury swear it's not the face
(Chorus)
Portland Rain
Dirty secrets of economy
Portland Rain
Turns that body into GDP
Portland Rain
The bell curve blames the baby's DNA
Portland Rain
But test scores are how much the parents make
Portland Rain
'Flippin cars in France the other night
Portland Rain
Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai
Portland Rain
'Cross the world and back its all the same
Portland Rain
Angels cry and shake their heads in shame
Portland Rain
Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
Portland Rain
Which part do you think you're 'livin in?
Portland Rain
More than 'marchin more than passing law
Portland Rain
Remake how we got to where we are.
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Portland Rain
A baby born will die before the sin
Portland Rain
The school books say it can't be here again
Portland Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went
Portland Rain
Build a tent and say the world is dry
Portland Rain
Zoom the camera out and see the lie
Portland Rain

Portland Rain
Only in the past is what they say
