tonight as I traverse the town
both east side and west side drown
the streets are drenched
I sit entrenched
behind the wheel
of my rain soaked automobile

chorus:
I slip and slide on uncertain terrain
I am driving in the rain

dark shiny streets remind me of
attractive and deceptive love
danger unseen
beneath a clean
and smooth veneer
where lies a dicey second tier

chorus

the sky again pours down in sheets
whole rivers run across the streets
the world we know
must ebb and flow
at least until
the universe and you and I stand still

chorus
