Statehouse (Burning in the Rain)
Chuck Prophet

Yes, indeed

It's oh

So very nice of you to ask

Still I can't help wondering

If I'm equal to the task

Of washing up

And getting dressed

And waiting on a train

To come so far

To watch the Statehouse

Burn down in the rain

Well, the highway's choked

With minivans

And traitors heading west

Here I am still wheezing

Like a sick bird in a nest

My heart is weak

My face is long

I'm not up to the strain

To breathe the smoke

And watch the Statehouse

Burn down in the rain

Well I'm not your father

And I'm not your lover

Something is rising

And it's boiling over

You'd better take cover

You'd better take cover

Something is rising

And it's boiling over

The Governor kept telling us

He was the People's voice

He said the time is high

For all of us to make a choice

Then he jammed his little finger

In a rusty weather vane

And ran out of the Statehouse

As it burned down in the rain

It's easy making plans

Out walking in the sun

Any fool can kick an old man

Down on the ground

And turn and run

But it's gonna take some doing

Yeah, some doing to explain

All the cheers the night

The Statehouse

Burned down in the rain

I'm not your father

I'm not your lover

Something is rising

And it's boiling over

You'd better take cover

You'd better take cover

Something is rising

And it's boiling over

Oh, yeah

The pillars and the amber waves

The bannisters and such

All that seemed too far away

Too far away to touch

We never found the numbers

Or the language to complain

Until the night the Statehouse up

And burned down in the rain
