"Hardpan Song" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
"Hardpan Song"

The daylily withers
The heat kills off all the grain
Just when you think
It's never gonna rain

[Refrain 1:]
The rain comes, the rain comes
It floods the town, kills everybody in it

The dog runs in circles
Parolees all skip town
Heat goes on forever and ever and ever
Shows no signs of slowing down

[Refrain 2:]
Then the rain comes, the rain comes
It shows no signs of stopping
