Rainy Season (7" single version)

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
