When you know the bad thing is coming and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

lyrics

I know that we should be talking about it
But I just can’t spare the effort to start speaking
I pretend that it’s all just
Going away
And I call that “hope”

Days ago the telephone stopped ringing
To save us from the harder lines of power
This all comes down
With a notice on the door

‘Cause we live down in this in valley
With the strip malls and the dust
And long for green
We don’t have
And wait for rain

I don’t know when it was that I stopped sleeping
To think about how I could make some money
But ideas
Comes as easy
As good work

And I know we didn’t do anything wrong
Still I lie here in my shame
Untying the knot
And punching air
And waiting for the rain

When you look down the horizon
And you see what’s on the way
You can’t go back
You can’t stand down
You just wait for the rain
