i_think_it's_going_to_rain_today randy newman broken windows and empty hallways a pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray human kindness is overflowing and i think it's going to rain today scarecrows dressed in the latest styles with frozen smiles to chase love away human kindness is overflowing and i think it's going to rain today lonely lonely tin can at my feet think i'll kick it down the street that's the way to treat a friend bright before me the signs implore me help the needy and show them the way human kindness is overflowing and i think it's going to rain today 110815 ... raze (i knew i stashed these lyrics here somewhere. still the most beautiful song randy ever wrote, i think. it's been covered by everyone from nina simone to UB40 to leonard nimoy, but there's a lonesome, weary quality to the original recording that remains unmatched.) 170805 ... ovenbird I am entranced by the way blather is shot through with music.
