Laughing at the Rain by The Stranglers Lyrics

I see a face, a shade of grey
When you're in this game
It's if the price you pay
Hey what's it all about anyway?

When you're losing sleep
'cause the ghosts won't hide
If you can't compete
Take a walk outside
Shame do you think that you can
Pick up all the pieces

You say the sun don't shine
That's when you'll find me
Laughing at the rain

Just like a dice the big wheel spins
I'm telling you now that there's
Nothing to gain
If you lose or you win
Relax there's nothing you can do
About it anyway
Well there's an open road
If you don't look back
So forget your bets and get on that track
Hey you haven't got the time to waste

Repeat chorus

A word with the leader at token of faith
But just by the look you've got
Nothing to show
For the prayers you gave
Angel you haven't got the strength to fly
Bye bye

You've got broken wings
But they will heal in time
So let me take you down
Where the sun don't shine

Laughing at the rain
Laughing at the rain
Oh I wish it would rain
Oh I wish it would rain
