[Verse 1]
Well I've been waiting for the rain to break
But I guess my waiting's through
It's been dry as a bone since 1982
And I've been trying to protect myself
With these possessions I keep on his walls
All my books and my records but they don't give me shelter at all
We're both smart enough to know better

[Chorus]
Come on come on come on
Take me into town[x2]

[Verse 2]
Oh did you see my boots when you walked in
Y'know I guess this shirt'll do
I'm broke as a monkey and I could use a drop or two
Well i know just what I'll do when I get there
You know I saw it in a magazine
I can get so low you'll have to peel me from off of the street
We're both smart enough to know better

[Chorus]
Come on come on come on
Take me into town[x9]
[Verse 3]
Well I've been talking to the dog for days
But you know it's just no use
She's sitting like a sphinx and I can't get to the truth
And I've been staring at the floor for days
Trying to figure out what it all means
But I know when I'm awake and I'm dumber in my dreams
We're both smart enough to know better

Come on come on come on
Take me into town[x4]
