Lyrics
Verse 1
Night creeps, piss stains the concrete under my feet
Drunk stumbling, gutter symphony, pissy sleet
Found a yellow river running through this town
Can’t dodge disaster when you always lookin’ down
Pre-Chorus
Every step sticky, every sigh reekin’ fear
Nobody cares, got their noses turned clear
Laughin’ at the misery, spit on my luck
If this is rock bottom, I’m covered in muck
Chorus
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
All over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Post-Chorus
All over, all over, all over, yeah
Chorus
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
All over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Post-Chorus
All over, all over, all over, yeah
Verse 2
It’s dripping from my collar, tastes like misery
Someone lost their dignity, straight off the street
Bridge up above, shadows leak and streak
Been baptized in something I did not seek
Pre-Chorus
People keep walking, don’t wanna know
I’m spinning, I’m soaked, head hung low
Strange perfume rising, memories won’t go
Nothing but trouble in this yellow flow
Chorus
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
All over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Post-Chorus
All over, all over, all over, yeah
Bridge
Splattered boots sloshin', puddles turn sickly green
Screamin' curses to the sky, yeah, you know what I mean
It’s a piss-soaked ending to this messed-up scene
Gutter gold dripping, washing me unclean
Verse 3
Funky rivers running down my battered sleeves
Can’t scrub the stench, it’ll haunt me when I leave
A wet badge of shame, all the creeps on parade
Laughin’ at my misery, counting every stain
Pre-Chorus
Cracked asphalt, drippin’ with spite
Yellow reflections in a sick streetlight
Hidin’ from the drizzle, but it never lets go
Now I’m part of the river, dirt in my soul
Chorus
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
All over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Post-Chorus
All over, all over, all over, yeah
Outro
Piss-soaked city dreams, never coming clean
Shouting for an answer, swallowed by the mean
Yellow rivers carving out their claim on me
Damned if I run, pissed on if I stay, no reprieve
Post-Chorus
All over, all over, can't break free
All over, all over, drowning in the stream
All over, all over, this bitter decree
All over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Breakdown
Mucky water streaming, can’t catch a breath
Filthy city thunder, soaked to death
My nerves are frayed just like these shoes
Living in a world where I always lose
Verse 4
Crusty fingers numb, scraping piss off my sleeves
Rancid gutter humor’s the only relief
Every drip’s a joke this nightmare wrote
A piss-stained eulogy scribbled on my coat
Chorus
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
All over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Post-Chorus
All over, all over, can’t clean free
All over, all over, just let it be
All over, all over, stainin’ my plea
All over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Coda
River’s runnin’ yellow, stained down to my bones
Spit out by the city, soaked and overthrown
Foul taste lingerin’, can’t drown it away
Another filthy chapter, piss-slick resume
Scream-Out
Hell, it’s all just piss and pain!
Wasted prayers circlin’ the drain!
Can’t wash off what’s seeped in deep
Wear this stench till I’m six feet beneath
Final Chorus
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Yellow rain is falling down on all over me
Stuck in this downpour, never get free
All over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Outro Post-Chorus
All over, all over, written in pee
All over, all over, shame’s legacy
All over, all over, filth is the key
All over meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
