GOA17 – When It Rains, It Pours
Guardians Of Atlanta 17
(When It Rains, It Pours)
Just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
The funeral was hard, the eulogy brief.
Cyrus fought back tears and heart-wrenching grief.
She said sheβd find the wretched machine and its creator.
And none would be able to hide from The Great Vindicator.
The prayers were said, Amazing Grace sung,
The search went on, but by a thread it hung.
A floating machine? Who could imagine such a thing?
And as they left, the church bells did ring.
When it rains it pours-
Like the salt on the sores-
Of the plans you made.
It stings like a thousand bees,
Keepinβ pressure like a strong snakeβs squeeze.
Still the rain falls harder,
And it wonβt let up.
Time to sink or swim-
In the water and mud.
Cyrus, just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
Just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
Cyrus: βThey wonβt believe my story,
But this much I know-
Iβve got to find the one
Who has dealt me this blow.
Justice shall be done,
Justice shall prevail.
Even if it takes
Until Iβm weak and frail.β
When it rains it pours-
Like the salt on the sores-
Of the plans you made.
It stings like a thousand bees,
Keepinβ pressure like a strong snakeβs squeeze.
Still the rain falls harder,
And it wonβt let up.
Time to sink or swim-
In the water and mud.
Cyrus, just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
Just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
Cyrus, just look up.
