Looking for the Rain Lyrics
Children born to get high
Turn your heads to the sky
We're burnin' in the heat below
With a thorn in the side
And the ocean too wide
And the avenues so long
We'll be sufferin' here
In the blood, in the fear
If your Judas be man
I will kill you if I can
A solitary night bird is singing
Over thunder-crack you're hearing
I'm looking for the rain to fall
There's a wraith-like shadow appearing
And though my eyes are veiled
I'm looking for the rain to fall
We'll be sufferin' here
In the blood, in the fear
If your Judas be man
I will kill you if I can
Children born to get high
Turn your heads to the sky
We're burnin' in the heat below
With a thorn in the side
And the ocean too wide
And the avenues so long
There's a wraith-like shadow appearing
And though my eyes are veiled
I'm looking for the rain to fall
I'm looking for the rain to fall
I'm looking for the rain to fall
Army's down to defeat
All the dogs in the street are seeking shelter before a storm
I'm looking for the rain to fall
I'm looking for the rain to fall
Turn your heads to the sky
We're burnin' in the heat below
And the ocean too wide
And the avenues so long
In the blood, in the fear
If your Judas be man
I will kill you if I can
Over thunder-crack you're hearing
I'm looking for the rain to fall
And though my eyes are veiled
I'm looking for the rain to fall
In the blood, in the fear
If your Judas be man
I will kill you if I can
Turn your heads to the sky
We're burnin' in the heat below
And the ocean too wide
And the avenues so long
And though my eyes are veiled
I'm looking for the rain to fall
All the dogs in the street are seeking shelter before a storm
I'm looking for the rain to fall

It seems like a spiritual song. There's a lot of metaphor and vague language - it's prophesy-like.
Children born to get high Turn your heads to the sky
People are hiding from the truth and from their lives because that's just what is expected from them. The singer wants them to see the light, whatever that may be.
With a thorn in the side And the ocean too wide And the avenues so long
People are suffering, and the world is too big. Even our own creations are larger than life and a person is insignificant in the face of that.
A solitary night bird is singing Over thunder-crack you're hearing
The voices of reason and life are almost drowned out by the noise.
There's a wraith-like like shadow appearing And though my eyes are veiled
Though the present is difficult and painful, something positively horrifying is coming - at least if the singer can trust his judgement, which isn't perfect.
I'm looking for the rain to fall
Won't a higher power come wash it all clean? Or maybe he's talking about the biblical flood here and he wants it all washed away.
