Early morning rain crashing upon My rooftop and my brain, Woke up in my clothes Feeling like I'm insane, The hours pass like days Like days And now you're on the firing squad I throw my hands up, I surrender I don't want to be a fraud I don't want to be the pretender And I was like a lightning rod I was always your defender We were both right and wrong I throw my hands up, I surrender I see your eyes, hear your voice Outside my window Calling for me in a time of trouble And you know I'd be there Yes you know I'd be there And now you're on the firing squad I throw my hands up, I surrender I don't want to be a fraud I don't want to be the pretender And I was like a lightning rod I was always your defender We were both right and wrong I throw my hands up, I surrender When I stand And I watch At the streetcar's rolling As the wind is blowing, And there's no way of knowing now And now you're on the firing squad I throw my hands up, I surrender I don't want to be a fraud I don't want to be the pretender And I was like a lightning rod I was always your defender We were both right and wrong I throw my hands up, I surrender
