Raincheck Lyrics

It's a beautiful house and I love the garden
But I just can't stay til my arteries harden
And out in the street the people are stranded
It didn't turn out the way that planned it

Another step closer to St Peter
They measure each step in millimetres
They say I oughta go now, but I think I'll take a raincheck

When the orange is fully wound
I still have time to go to ground
To go get lost before I get found

I watch television til I got the message
That we're quick stepping headlong into the dark age
Can't get a career, can't go to college

Another step closer to St Peter
They measure each step in millimetres
They say I oughta go now, but I think I'll take a raincheck

When the orange is fully wound
I still have time to go to ground
To go get lost before I get found

They say I oughta go now, but I think I'll take a raincheck

When the orange is fully wound
I still have time to go to ground
To go get lost before I get found
I still have time

When the orange is fully wound
I still have time to go to ground
To go get lost before I get found
I still have time

I still have time

It's a beautiful house and I love the garden
But I just can't stay til my arteries harden
And out in the street the people are stranded
It didn't turn out the way that planned it

Another step closer to St Peter
They measure each step in millimetres
They say I oughta go now, but I think I'll take a raincheck

When the orange is fully wound
I still have time to go to ground
To go get lost before I get found

I watch television til I got the message
That we're quick stepping headlong into the dark age
Can't get a career, can't go to college

Another step closer to St Peter
They measure each step in millimetres
They say I oughta go now, but I think I'll take a raincheck

When the orange is fully wound
I still have time to go to ground
To go get lost before I get found

They say I oughta go now, but I think I'll take a raincheck

When the orange is fully wound
I still have time to go to ground
To go get lost before I get found
I still have time

When the orange is fully wound
I still have time to go to ground
To go get lost before I get found
I still have time

I still have time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
