Caught Without An Umbrella

Spearhead

Memories come down and me once again



caught without an umbrella



memories come down and me once again



caught without an umbrella

suicidal he just didn't care wether he lived or died though

you got yours and I got mine



when he turned sixteen



they said he could drive



when he turned eighteen they said he could die



when he turned twenty one he could buy rum



but no one ever taught him



how things were done



then an angel appeared inside his head

(chorus)



'Cause he thought the day that he died



would be a normal day for the people on the other side

would be a normal day for the people on the other side



but memories come down and me once again



caught without an umbrella

in this age of information and technology

put his face in a towel hot from the dryer



then he sat down and wrote a note to his mom



when all is said and done

because manhood is so elusive



and respect is so exclusive



and I got a daddy to prove it



I think I'll never get to shake it and move



then he tied a rope around his neck



looked in the mirror and said what the heck



I'm gonna bring the whole roof down with me



and then he jumped




(chorus)




"Come in Vernon'




But halt way down



he heard what the angel said



and he realized -he really
