Scratch my back with a lightning bolt
thunder rolls like a bass drum note
the sound of the weather is heaven's rag time band
we all fell down form the milky way
hanging' round here 'till judgment day
heaven only knows who's in command
chorus
barefoot children in the rain
got no need to explain
we'd be swinging on a ball and chain
it's always understood by those who play the game
barefoot children in the rain
show me yours and i'll show you mine
take me back to days full with monkey shine's
bouncing on a bubble full of trouble in the summer sun
keep your raft from the riverboat
fiction over fact always has my vote
and wrinkles only go where the smiles have been
chorus
barefoot children in the rain
got no need to explain
we'd be swinging on a ball and chain
it's always understood by those who play the game
barefoot children in the rain
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
barefoot children in the rain
scratch my back with a lightning bolt
thunder rolls like a bass drum note
the sound of the weather is heaven's rag time band
the sky turns blue and the sun appears
but the question's still "what are we doing here?"
i don't think the answer's close at hand
chorus
barefoot children in the rain
got no need to explain
we'd be swinging on a ball and chain
it's always understood by those who play the game
barefoot children in the rain
in the rain
in the rain
