The Fog or China Lyrics
wait for a rainstorm
to come wash the scum off
the streets you walk at night
curse god for hindsight
the soft skirt of his light and charm
you painted his portrait
on the inside of your toilet
to remind you that he’s gone
you wait for a rainstorm
to come wash the scum off
the streets you walk at night
it’s all right
to wear your heart on the outside of your sleeve
you don’t mind
if it’s cold out, it’s dark down by your street
it’s all right
to wear your heart on the outside of your sleeve
you don’t mind
if it’s cold out, it’s dark down by your street
wait for a rainstorm
to come wash the scum off
the streets you walk at night
curse god for hindsight
the soft skirt of his light and charm
you branded his portrait
on the inside of your toiletry
to remind you that he’s gone
you wait for a rainstorm
to come wash the scum off
the streets you walk at night
it’s all right
to wear your heart on the outside of your sleeve
you don’t mind
if it’s cold out, it’s dark down by your street
it’s all right
to wear your heart on the outside of your sleeve
you don’t mind
if it’s cold out, it’s dark down by your street
to come wash the scum off
the streets you walk at night
the soft skirt of his light and charm
you painted his portrait
on the inside of your toilet
to remind you that he’s gone
to come wash the scum off
the streets you walk at night
to wear your heart on the outside of your sleeve
you don’t mind
if it’s cold out, it’s dark down by your street
it’s all right
to wear your heart on the outside of your sleeve
you don’t mind
if it’s cold out, it’s dark down by your street
to come wash the scum off
the streets you walk at night
the soft skirt of his light and charm
you branded his portrait
on the inside of your toiletry
to remind you that he’s gone
to come wash the scum off
the streets you walk at night
to wear your heart on the outside of your sleeve
you don’t mind
if it’s cold out, it’s dark down by your street
it’s all right
to wear your heart on the outside of your sleeve
you don’t mind
if it’s cold out, it’s dark down by your street

how has no one commented on this song? such a great, eclectic use of instruments and freak-folk. i have no idea what it's about, but it's damn catchy.
Nice Taxi Driver reference.
*the soft skirt...
Instead of that, it sounds more to me like "obscured by his light and charm."
