NICKY:
SMOKIN’ IN THE RAIN.
IS THAT LIKE PISSIN’ IN THE WIND?
IS IT LIKE PUMMELING YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE WALL?
IS THAT LIKE DREAMIN’ HERE IN WATERTOWN,
WHERE ALL MY DREAMS ARE PINNED?

SANDY:
SMOKIN’ IN THE RAIN.
HELL, IT’S LIKE SWIMMING THROUGH CEMENT.
IT’S LIKE I’M STRUGGLING TO PROVE MY DREAMS AREN’T DEAD.
HELL, IT’S LIKE WAITIN’ HERE FOR CHANCES
THAT ALREADY CAME AND WENT.

NICKY & SANDY:
HMMM,
RIGHT FROM THE SKY,
THE RAIN FALLS.
THE RAIN FALL FALLS.
AND TOMORROW CALLS.

SANDY:
I SEE THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT HIM.

NICKY:
I SEE HOW SUSAN LOOKS AT ME.

SANDY:
I SEE THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER.

NICKY & SANDY:
IT’S SOMETHING ANY FOOL COULD SEE.

NICKY:
SHE SEES IN ME A DREAMER AND A FAILURE.

SANDY:
SHE SEES IN ME A DREAM THAT SOMEHOW FAILED HER.

NICKY & SANDY:
SHE’S WRONG.

SUSAN & BECCA:
HMMM,
RIGHT FROM THE SKY,
THE RAIN FALLS.
THE RAIN FALL FALLS.
AND TOMORROW CALLS.

SUSAN & BECCA & NICKY & SANDY:
SMOKIN IN THE RAIN
IT FEELS LIKE SLEDDING UP A HILL
I PACE THE BORDERS OF MY LIFE, MY TOWN, MY TRAP.
IT FEELS LIKE EV’RYONE IN WATERTOWN
IS HAPPY STANDIN’ STILL

SMOKIN IN THE RAIN
HELL IT’S LIKE FISHIN’ IN A GLASS
IT’S LIKE A FAITH THAT YOU ARE MORE THAN JUST A MAN.
IT’S LIKE EXPECTING SOME SMALL MIRACLE
THAT CANNOT COME TO PASS

MAYBE THE RAIN WILL WASH AWAY
THE STUPID STUFF I’M FEELING.
MAYBE THE RAIN WILL BE REVEALING…
HMMM,
RIGHT FROM THE SKY,
THE RAIN FALLS.
AND SOMETHING CALLS.
THE RAIN FALL FALLS.
