Violent Femmes - I hear the rain

I hear the rain. I hear the rain.
I hear the rain.
Got to kill the pain.
I hear the rain. I hear the rain.
I hear the rain.
Got to kill the pain.

Burry me out on a lone prarie.
Prarie water washin' over me.
Burry me out on a lone prarie.
A friend who calls a coyote.

Burry me out in the lone city.
Sewer water color of my tea.
Burry me out in the lone city.
Sewer water wash we all down to sea.

She use to sit and watch and wait.
Now I think I'll go and sit.

I was stationed in Germany back in 1983 (1984?) and my friends and I would listen to this song and take a shot of Jim Beam every time we heard "gotta kill the pain". I think it was 10 or 12 shots whenever we listened to this song. I took the train to Munich with a beautiful girl named Sandra to see these guys in concert. We also saw Killing Joke in Munich around the same time...

@federesco11 Did you kill any Krauts?

[Giblet32]

@HeadDrauma Huh, I never thought of that. I always just mumble when I sing that part.
