Rainmaker Lyrics

He's everything by design, he's a well-planned gent

When he's not buying time, he's watching yours get spent

Taking the dying pulse of your deepest beliefs

Covering his tracks, leaving not a trace

Shaking down his talismen, roughing up the chiefs

Draining the last hope from your sorry race

You go to the well, but it comes up dry

Nothing to say, you can't ask why

Yeah, you go to the well, and it comes up dry

Rainmaker, don't you own the sky?

That one-sided laugh lets him dodge all his lies

But his promise of magic still shines in your eyes

Rollin' your bones 'til he sees what's real

"Cut off your head, boy, let's read the signs"

The art of saying nothing says just what he feels

Your life's emptiness is what he defines

You go to the well, but it comes up dry

Nothing to say, you can't ask why

Yeah, you go to the well, and it comes up dry

Rainmaker, don't you own the sky?

That self-made man just unmade you

What of you is left, to which you can be true?

You rant and you rave, turn a deeper green

You didn't get your water, and paid full price

The sky is barren, the ground burnt clean

In this game of skin and bones, no one plays nice

You go to the well, but it comes up dry

Nothing to say, you can't ask why

Yeah, you go to the well, and it comes up dry

Rainmaker, don't you own the sky?
