Paroles: Graham Parker. Thunder & Rain.

Cold night air everywhere, holes in my feet and bats in my hair
TV meals scattered 'round, glazed up eyes rolling through town
And when night, black me out in a flash, I found out
Lovers get caught just the same in the thunder and rain
In the thunder and rain

All I heard empty words but empty words don't count
Devil's home spikes and bones
Ain't worse than loneliness and doubt
And the long corridor push me on to your door
But I got caught just the same in the thunder and rain

Thu-u-under and ra-a-ain
Thu-u-nder and ra-a-ain
Thu-u-nder and ra-a-ain
Thu-u-under and ra-a-ain

I thought your love would pull me through
So I left my coat at home with you
But when the door shut tight on you
Lovers get caught just the same in the thunder and rain

Lightning cracked I fell back, hail dropped like bullets through the air
Pull me in by my skin, give me the strength to go out there
'Cause when night, black me out, in a flash I found out
Lovers get caught just the same in the thunder and rain
Yes they do, I tell you

Lovers get caught just the same in the thunder and rain
Thunder and rain
I know that lovers get caught just the same in the thunder and rain
Thunder and rain
I tell you lovers get caught just the same in the thunder and rain
Thunder and rain, thu-u-u-under and rain, in the thunder and rain
