I can't sleep tonight, ever body saying everything's alright Still I can't close my eyes, I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights Sunny days, where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining, I can't avoid the lightning I can't stand myself, I'm being held up by invisible men Still life on a shelf when, I got my mind on something else Sunny days, where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining, I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold I can't sleep tonight, ever body saying everything's alright Still I can't close my eyes, I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights Sunny days, where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining, I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold Why does it always rain on me Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining, I can't avoid the lightning Why does it always rain on me Why does it always rain on
