Lyrics
The rain's comin down and out and all around its gray
its midafternoon it's june in Seattle. its just another day
you can stay inside if you like but id rather go out and play
take my advice cause your life could expire sometime today
the cards youre holding decide your fortune
you stand there waiting = you fold
oh, man, thats cold
The suns comin up but just enough to make my day
but it wont be long til its gone when the clouds come
to take it away
So lets make the best of this mess and get out there
and have a nice day
you can take my hand as we stand on the sidewalk
to soak up the rain
the cards youre holding decide your fortune
you stand there waiting = you fold
oh, man, thats cold
The rain's comin down and out and everythings OK
ts midafternoon ibut it doesnt matter
im not gonna wait
you can stay inside if you like but id rather go out and play
take my advice cause your life could expire sometime today
I can't stand to hear you ramble
It's your own life so take a gamble
the cards youre holding decide your fortune
you stand there waiting = you fold
oh, man, thats cold
