Tom Waits - Strange Weather Lyrics

Will you take me across the Channel
London Bridge is falling down
Strange a woman tries to save
What a man will try to drown
And it's the rain that they predicted
Its the forecast every time
The rose has died because you picked it
I believe that brandy's mine

And all over the world strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world
It's the same, it's the same

And the world is getting flatter
And the sky is falling all around
Oh and nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town
And a love like ours, my dear
Is best measured when its down
And I never buy umbrellas
Cause there's always one around

And all over the world strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world
It's the same, it's the same

And you know that its beginning
And you know that its the end
Once again we are strangers
As the fog comes rolling in

And all over the world strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world
It's the same, it's the same
It's the same
