The ceiling’s on the floor
floor’s in the refrigerator
what of the door?
it’s there no more
When it rains inside
there’s nowhere to hide
which is why
I’m all sunshine
Aint nobody warned you
aint nobody warned me too
if Hell is above you
you’re even lower than I knew
oh why does it rain inside?
Mine is an opposite house
rain inside when it’s sunny out
outside in
inside out
One step forward, two steps back
they say opposites attract
but they haven’t tracked
in my odd shack
The opposite of white
isn’t black but rainbow blood
this house is too narrow
and made from endangered wood
oh why does it rain inside?
How do you make a magnet?
you create a potential
just an old refrigerator magnet
repelled and pulled
tell me why…
Living in a golden age
why do these words sound so strange?
nothing’s changed
inside this cage
From the window I can see
you coming back to me
how can this be?
my window’s a tree
Pet snakes in the hall
pet snakes, wall to wall
coiling where the mice crawl
winter, spring, summer and fall
oh why does it rain inside?

I know this song was available before purchase but I still can't stop revisiting it after playing the album. "Just one more fix!" is how it feels. This album grabs me and keeps me glued, chord by chord, beat by beat and word by word. A dash of magic added to my life!
