[Silence]<\/p>\n
[Arrangement: Swampy, hard-grooving blues-rock with gritty guitar, stomping drums, distorted bass, Hammond organ, and a chorus that hits like thunder over dry ground]<\/p>\n
[Intro]
\nClouds roll in
\n(But not for free)
\nDust blows out
\n(From the thirsty trees)<\/p>\n
Clouds roll in
\n(But not for free)
\nSomebody\u2019s dealin\u2019
\n(With destiny)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nHe came in low
\n(With a copper grin)
\nBoots in the mud
\n(And a storm within)<\/p>\n
One hand lifted
\n(To the sky)
\nOne hand buried
\n(In what ran dry)<\/p>\n
He knew the cracks
\n(In every field)
\nKnew how hunger
\n(Makes a spirit yield)<\/p>\n
Said, \u201cI can bring it\u201d
\n(If you pay the price)
\nBut rain like that
\n(Ain\u2019t ever nice)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nThe reign
\n(Of the rainmaker)
\nTurned up the heat
\n(On the people \u2013 Beat!)<\/p>\n
The reign
\n(Of the rainmaker)
\nTurned dry to flood
\n(And blood to mud)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nReignmaker
\n(Suck the soil)
\nSpill the sky
\n(Fortune taker)<\/p>\n
Reignmaker<\/p>\n
Now you ask why?
\n(Cry n\u2019 die)
\nOr learn to live
\n(…to give….)<\/p>\n
Rain love
\n(From above)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nFirst came the drought
\n(The river thinned)
\nThen came the wind
\n(And the dust rolled in)<\/p>\n
Then came the promise
\n(Of relief at last)
\nBut every blessing
\n(Moved too fast)<\/p>\n
The clouds broke hard
\n(The levees groaned)
\nThe fields were drowned
\n(The roots were blown)<\/p>\n
Too little, too much
\n(In the same refrain)
\nThat\u2019s how it goes
\n(When you bargain with rain)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nThe reign
\n(Of the rainmaker)
\nTurned up the heat
\n(On the people \u2013 Beat!)<\/p>\n
The reign
\n(Of the rainmaker)
\nBaked the earth
\n(Then drowned rebirth)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nHe don\u2019t make weather
\n(He makes a trade)
\nBetween your fear
\n(And the bets you\u2019ve made)<\/p>\n
A little more heat
\n(A little less grace)
\nA little more chaos
\n(In every place)<\/p>\n
He rides the line
\n(Between flood and flame)
\nAnd every town
\n(Learns his name)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Dirty guitar solo]
\n[Organ grind]
\n[Tom-heavy drum break like rolling thunder]<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\nRainmaker…
\n(Reignmaker…)
\nFortune taker…
\n(Fortune taker…)<\/p>\n
Suck the soil…
\n(Spill the sky…)
\nCry n\u2019 die…
\n(Or learn to live…)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nThe reign
\n(Of the rainmaker)
\nTurned up the heat
\n(On the people \u2013 Beat!)<\/p>\n
The reign
\n(Of the rainmaker)
\nBrought on stark
\n(And left its mark)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nReignmaker
\n(Suck the soil)
\nSpill the sky
\n(Fortune taker)<\/p>\n
Reignmaker<\/p>\n
Now you ask why?
\n(Cry n\u2019 die)
\nOr learn to live
\n(…to give….)<\/p>\n
Rain love
\n(From above)
\nRain love
\n(From above)
\nLove, love, love<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nClouds roll in
\n(But not for free)
\nSomebody\u2019s dealin\u2019
\n(With destiny)<\/p>\n
[Refrain fade]
\nRain love
\n(From above)
\nRain love
\n(From above)
\nLove, love, love<\/p>\n
