Let Dwayne Fall

Whoever was praying to the rain gods a couple of weeks ago, thank you for stopping. That had to be the worst storm I've ever been in. I was going to work and the rain hitting my face hurt so much that I cried. I don't care what anybody thinks. I'll cry in the middle of a storm if I want to. Well, that's only because nobody can tell when it's coming down so hard. Alright, maybe I didn't cry but the windy winds just made it worse. And unlike the seat of Michael Moore's pants, the Bay Area is not used to so much wind. That's probably why people here still think that they can walk into a storm of biblical proportions and go unscathed by using an umbrella. I gotta admit though, it is entertaining to see umbrellas flip over and blow away.

I suppose rain isn't all bad tho. In fact, I had a friend tell me she likes the rain. And if you do too, I can only assume that it's because you like making people sad. But I did see, firsthand, some good that came from the rain. For example, the urine and feces that I usually have to side step around to get to the entrance at work was gone. And the streets that are usually decorated with hobos and druggies... all gone too! Too bad it took an act of God to make it happen.

So because of the rain, I've been looking for a good song about rain. And if you know me, which nobody does, you would know that I'm horrible at paying attention to the lyrics. You could send me a song about some of the most offensive and obscene lyrics, but if it has a good beat and melody, to me, that's a keeper. That probably explains my jpop obsession in college. Actually, maybe jpop was what made me ignore song lyrics altogether. Or perhaps I'm just a bad listener. At any rate, when I hear a song, the lyrics typically go through one ear and bounces out the same ear. So back to the rain song, I decided I would pick out a song and transcribe the lyrics. So the song that came to my mind was Come Clean by Hilary Duff. I had to listen to the song a bunch of times to get the lyrics down so hopefully me sacrificing my sanity was worth it. You might want to go to Youtube or Imeem and play the actual song so you can follow my lyrics. So here's how the song sounds to me...

Song: Come Clean
Artist: Hilary Duff
Lyrics: me!

Lets go back, back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a swear into a circle was malign
Eye de fi...

Let Dwayne fall down and break my jeans
Let it wash away my sand, Neddy
'Cause i wanna feel the thunder
I want ice cream
Let Dwayne fall down
I'm coming, Queen
I'm common green

I'm sh---ing, sh---ing every color
Trying to find the pig man of drool beneath my scam
Ooooo
Cause different doesn't feel so different
Can go in at a sweater that always stay in me
Weee o way when

Let Dwayne fall down and break my jeans
Let it wash away my sand, Neddy
'Cause i wanna feel the thunder
I want ice cream
Let the Dwayne fall down
I'm coming, Queen
I'm common green

I'm calling Queen
Aye ye yea...

Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming...

Let Dwayne fall down and break my jeans
Let it wash away my sand, Neddy
'Cause i wanna feel the thunder
I want ice cream
Let the Dwayne fall down
I'm coming, Queen

Home coming queen
Home coming king

Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall

I'm becoming Greek

Let's go back, back to the beginning...
