The lies made holes for the truth to escape As the engine hissed its defeat Looks like we'll have to walk she said Then took the first strange steps in the heat The last days of the rainmachine The last road we'll ride The last days of the rainmachine The last tears you'll see me cry
So walk we did on sand turned glass Our heads bent by the wind And looking back, reflecting sun Was a useless scrap of tin The last days of the rainmachine The last road we'll ride The last days of the rainmachine The last tears you'll see me cry
We sucked this world down to its brittle bones Now our throats are dry as dust We thought we could force nature's hand But she turned her guns on us The last days of the rainmachine The last road we'll ride The last days of the rainmachine The last tears you'll see me cry
Wiping the smile off the face of the earth Letting it all slide away Kicking the teeth of the world at our feet And wondering why these are our last days
