lyrics

I feel so glum and
I've been 6 feet overdone
I'm either on a bus or catching a train

With ax and jug wine
I've been searching for a goldmine
Inside 40,000 miles of rain

Sometimes when lonely
I can think I find it homely
But it feels much more like legerdemain

Map soaked and faded
Laying right where I mislaid it
Inside 40,000 miles of rain rain rain rain

A saxophone
Is only covering the rusty bones
Right where I hang my claim

I run the numbers
I think just another summer
Baby, you know I'm a doggone swain

I put a hand up
The other hand's so clammed up
Crumpling a paper plane plane plane plane plane

And when I die
My last words better be a lie
Just going clang clang into the rain

I feel so glum and
I said buckle up its coming
And there's gonna be a hell of a stain

Just need a spit-shine
When you're searching for a goldmine
And the only thing you found is a sprain

Past time to tone it
Maybe wrestling my old hits
Never paid in anything by shame shame shame shame shame

And on the Rhine
I saw the look inside her eyes
It looked like 40,000 miles of rain
