lyrics

Pickin' up the pieces on a cloudy day

Hopscotch played and raindrops framed kissing all the sailors with the wet shoe stains a rusted tire in parking lot and a girl in cotton socks just stares at faces on posters on the telephone poles an old drunk man in panty hose the porchlights burn and the clouds are high and the liquor store's closed on Sundays

we're pickin' up the pieces on a cloudy day

Sun-stained bottles on the doorstep a John-Deere hat and a three-piece suit standing on the corner speaking traffic and waking up the neighbours with the gum boot slap there's an executioner with a coffee handing out condoms to saints and the porchlights burn and the clouds are high and the liquor store's closed on Sunday

we're pickin' up the pieces on a cloudy day

The dump truck's leaving all the rainbows and the ghosts are circling round town there's a checkerboard face on a downtown train sayin' his name is lost and found today and everyone's got a camera and invitations for their beds they're looking for those with convictions the kind the jail house folks would like instead and the liqour store's closed on Sundays

we're pickin' up the pieces on a cloudy day
