Drained (from Free-For-All) Songtext
von Michael Penn

Here′s the car you will be driving
Radio works
Take the tent out on arriving
Detour of the road
Where every sign's a carved design
Stick feather on with glue
Run amok upon the lawn
The sun comes up and it just dawned on me
One thing′s clear
The time's come when all of your love is drained
See let's see now
Dream this dream and have no mends
Lose my concentration to some twister again
And I point nude in shrunken suit
Like all your weathermen
And feeling wet and most alone
Into this shelter I am thrown
And found dumb
At least I′ve got this one thing clear The time′s come when all of your love is drained
Fresh on the east grapevine
Now that the blacktop's dried up
You′ll be tied up and I'll be fine
Now that I′ve got your attention
Toast to the host
That's a rope and wood invention
And tie me to its post
There′s a subject to consider
'Cause we both know each other too well
Forget the plumber, call a priest
The convicts have all been released
And I've just screwed this up at least
I think I have
But left you with this one thing clear
The time′s come when all of your love is drained
One thing′s clear
The time comes when all of your love is drained
