Naked In The Rain '98
Blue Pearl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in over my head
Fire fills me, hot and red
Raging like a blood red sun
Fire fueled by deeds undone
Burning and I just can't wait to give a helping hand to fate
Change this crazy world around, first we gotta cool down
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy, oh
Oh oh
Smoke is in my eyes
Drifting from the burning cries
Of those who have no strength to stand
Against the fire in the land
Come and wash away the pain, step into the blessed rain
Cool the fire in your soul, the rain will make you whole
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, oh oh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, ooh ooh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy, oh
Oh oh
Come and wash away the pain, step into the blessed rain
Cool the fire in your soul, the rain will make you whole
Come and wash away the pain, step into the blessed rain
Cool the fire in your soul, the rain will make you whole
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, oh oh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, ooh ooh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy, oh
Oh oh, hey hey
