Raining, raining, raining rain in sugar town [x2]

A new day dawns across the tracks,
Tile by tile the chimney stacks
A city steeped in history
But so much pain and misery
Rain on me, rain hard and long
Faith of our fathers makes ’em strong
Rain on me, rain hard and long
Rain down on the place that I belong

[chorus]

’cos it’s just another night in sugar town
And the rain is falling down in sugar town

"i’m alright", I say to jack,
"just get this monkey off my back"
Sugar town in urban light -
People got no cash and it don’t seem right
Blue light fever, downtown crash
One man’s treasure, one man’s trash
Rain on me, rain hard and long
Rain down on the place that I belong

[chorus] [x2]

I don’t ask a lot, all I want is one God shot [x2]
I work and work, prepare myself
Wait all my life and lose my health
From a file to the brain cold steel more rain
Rain, rain, rain

Raining, raining, raining rain in sugar town [x2]

Muscle man with bully boy plan
Catch us baby if you can
Streets of gold, oh streets of gold -
Asleep on concrete, feels so cold
Rain on me, rain hard and long - rain [x2]

Raining, raining, raining rain in sugar town [x4]

Rain on me, rain hard and long - rain [x4]

Raining, raining, raining, raining [x2]
