Now all of the planes have landed Smoke rises from their clothing And the soldiers are in their beds And sweet dreams through their heads A country rain on a city street When joy and sadness meet Truth faced leaves a strange taste This life is bittersweet The boy with the bloated belly Hears today's trucks arrive He puts down his baby sister And makes his way outside When joy and sadness meet Truth faced leaves a stragne taste This life is bittersweet A country rain on a city street Everyone's a novelist And everyone can sing But no one talks when the TV's on... Dark clouds filled the sky The lightening flashed, and the thunder rolled This life is bittersweet A country rain on a city street
