Rain On Bricks

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wet mac, black cap Creases in the mirror Bus stop ghosting I don't trust the nearer Blue smoke in the stairwell Bootprints on the tile Man move tense When he see my smile Copper coins in my palm Cold hand, no shake Old jazz playing From a crack in the tape Mum said, "Be home" I said, "Soon" But the alley got a hunger And the moon got a bruise [Pre-Chorus] Hear that sax in the drain Like a siren in silk Every link in my chain Got a hiss and a tilt I don't run for the light I just cut through the fog If you ask what I know I know how to get gone [Chorus] Rain on bricks, rain on bricks Same old scene, same old tricks Rain on bricks, rain on bricks Keep your word, don't miss Rain on bricks, rain on bricks Cold hard eyes, thin lip kiss Rain on bricks, rain on bricks We survive like this (like this) [Verse 2] Late-night chippy, grease stain On my sleeve from the front Two-man crew at the corner Talking low, counting funds She got red nails, white shirt Sits back, reads the room Eyes like a jury And a laugh that cuts through I seen pride get chipped Like a mug on a sink Seen brave men fold In the blink of a blink So I move like a shadow With a pocket full of rain If the night wants payment It can take what remains [Bridge] [Piano break] All these names get thin All these lies get pale When the horn comes in Even kings get frail [Chorus] Rain on bricks, rain on bricks Same old scene, same old tricks Rain on bricks, rain on bricks Keep your word, don't miss Rain on bricks, rain on bricks Cold hard eyes, thin lip kiss Rain on bricks, rain on bricks We survive like this (like this)
