Inside a broken clock, splashing the wine with all the rain dogs

Taxi, we'd rather walk, huddle a doorway with the rain dogs

For I am a rain dog, too



Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night

For it was all ripe for dreaming

Oh, how we danced away all of the lights

We've always been out of our minds



The rum pours strong and thin, beat out the dustman with the rain dogs

Aboard a shipwreck train, give my umbrella to the rain dogs

For I am a rain dog, too



Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee

Her long hair black as a raven

Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me

You'll never be going back home

Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee

Her long hair black as a raven

Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me

You'll never be going back home
