Phantastique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men
It's raining men! hallelujah! - it's raining men! amen!
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's raining men! hallelujah!
It's raining men! every specimen!
Tall, blond, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
God bless mother nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's raining men! hallelujah! - it's raining men! amen!
It's raining men! hallelujah!
It's raining men! amen!
I feel stormy weather, moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder, don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
God bless mother nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's raining men! yeah!
Humidity is rising, barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men
It's raining men! hallelujah! It's raining men! Amen!
It's raining men! hallelujah! It's raining men!
