F#m F#m
Inside a broken clock

Splashing the wine
G G
With all the rain dogs
F#m F#m
Taxi, we'd rather walk

Huddle a doorway
G G C# C#
with the rain dogs
A A G# G# F#m F#m
For I am a rain dog too

C# C# F#m F#m
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
C# C# F#m F#m
For it was all ripe for dreaming
C# C# F#m F#m
Oh how we danced away all of the lights
D D C# C# G# G# C# C#
We've always been out of our minds


The rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustmen
with the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwrecked train
give my umbrella
to the rain dogs
for I am a rain dog too

Oh, how we danced with the rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you wispered to me
You'll never be going back home

About this song: Rain Dogs

The album's title comes from an expression which also suggests this tragic kingdom of the streets; "Rain dogs" are dogs which became lost after the rain washed away the scent of home, thus barring their return. Waits cast further light on the metaphor by stating that the album was about "People who live outdoors. You know how after the rain you see all these dogs that seem lost, wandering around. The rain washes away all their scent, all their direction. So all the people on the album are knit together, by some corporeal way of sharing pain and discomfort.
