"Rainmaker"
(Mark Linkous)

[Intro:]
Well, shit, yeah!

All you've got to do is
Look in the sky and wish
You might see his face in the clouds or
Relaxing in a spirit ditch

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
He's been known to sleep on piles of dry leaves
Abandoned on October lawns
Sometimes he awakens with spiders on his eyelids

[Chorus:]
Rainmaker's coming
Rainmaker's coming
Rainmaker's coming
To soak us with water

Sometimes you feel just like
A stone tossed into the deep
All you gotta do is touch
A woman's face that's warm with sleep

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
And he can show up at your, your back door in the night deep
Trace him back before he was born
Inquiring about an honest day's work for a decent meal

[Chorus:]
Rainmaker's coming
Rainmaker's coming
Rainmaker's coming
To soak us with water

Sometimes he's hitching a ride
In a freezer or appears as a mist
He's also been known to
Introduce himself as a scientist

[Pre-Chorus 3]
He could be the retarded son of an old woman
With seven fingers on each hand
'Cause I know I reckon he will come when he's beckoned for

[Chorus:]
Rainmaker's coming
Rainmaker's coming
Rainmaker's coming
To soak us with water
To soak us with water
