The wind was blowing hard
And the rain was pouring down
The leaves were shaken from the trees
Flying around
Nobody was living in these houses
Seemed nobody was alive in that street
They were bound to tear these houses down
So they made all the people leave
He was lying there on a mattress
Stretched out on the floor
Thinking the whole thing over
Just once more
The way she came
And then again how she left him
Dreaming ‘bout good times
She never had
Then one day they rode in
Big machines
Started to bump into the walls
So the walls were tumbling
Nobody ever heard him scream
For he wasn’t falling
He was flying
Flying around
