Was it really only yesterday When you left in such a rush And the falling cliffs filled the bay? I used to know this place I used to know your name My skin remembers I am on fire And it's the rainy season In this desert You made me create I am on fire And it's the rainy season And you're like a mirage I could learn to hate The future's missing here On some coral reef You called me all the names Under the sun In your sleep Stirring the blue-grey waves I'm steady as she goes My brain's a leaky boat My brain's a leaky boat I am on fire And it's the rainy season In this desert You made me create I am on fire And it's the rainy season And you're like a mirage I could learn to hate You had broken my heart already I'd just seen you across the room I made up my mind Five feet into the flames To pray for the break of the monsoon I pray for the break of the monsoon I think I'm coming down with something new I'm running errands for your friends I hardly know I used to know this place I used to know your name My skin remembers And I am on fire And it's the rainy season In this desert You made me create I am on fire And it's the rainy season And you're like a mirage I could learn to hate
