Raining on the Sky Lyrics
when the night falls on metropolis
neon dissonace, warm lipstick
when the moon shines on the playground
I will find you in the tinseltown
moving shadows in the shape of what you wanna see
painted fingers and the aromatic Jean Nat�
and when they spinning you can see them do the strangest things
building bridges from the slivers of another's dream
whatever you want I'll give it to you, I will
whatever the cost I'll get it for you
let's go raining on the sky
blow kiss and wave goodbye
let's go raining on the sky and one kiss seals the tie
Riding home she falls asleep in a checkered cab
in her dreams she comes across Alice in Wonderland
the maddest hatter surely had her in the recent past
now she hears him say "honey you are home at last"
you'll be waiting there you can start again
Rhinestone darling, know you're taken
you have a lot to let us together collect your mother's best
You'll have a lot of laughs and Cadillacs and bubble baths
whatever you want I'll do it to you,I will
whatever the thought I'll do it for you,I will
let's go raining on the sky
blow kiss and wave goodbye
let's go raining on the sky and one kiss seals the tie
When you're heart aches, with horizon
caked eyelash
torn nylon
when the light breaks through and frightens you
you'll hear the cry to come raining on the sky
neon dissonace, warm lipstick
when the moon shines on the playground
I will find you in the tinseltown
painted fingers and the aromatic Jean Nat�
and when they spinning you can see them do the strangest things
building bridges from the slivers of another's dream
whatever the cost I'll get it for you
let's go raining on the sky
blow kiss and wave goodbye
let's go raining on the sky and one kiss seals the tie
in her dreams she comes across Alice in Wonderland
the maddest hatter surely had her in the recent past
now she hears him say "honey you are home at last"
you'll be waiting there you can start again
Rhinestone darling, know you're taken
you have a lot to let us together collect your mother's best
You'll have a lot of laughs and Cadillacs and bubble baths
whatever the thought I'll do it for you,I will
let's go raining on the sky
blow kiss and wave goodbye
let's go raining on the sky and one kiss seals the tie
caked eyelash
torn nylon
when the light breaks through and frightens you
you'll hear the cry to come raining on the sky

I’ve always interpreted this song being about a sugar baby that lives in Hollywood.
The narrator is an old boyfriend from back home and he’s come to profess his love for her but he knows that she will stay in her cycle of finding rich boyfriends that take care of her.
Each time a relationship ends, she reinvents herself just like the actresses in Hollywood do and starts again. Blowing a kiss to him and waving goodbye, her world (and his) turns upside down once again.
This is just a beautiful song, Bar-none. Naked was an awsome band that never gained the recognition they deserved. They ended up having a hit single, "Mann's Chinese," but we dropped by their label and broke up. Last thing I heard, The lead singer was going to come out with a new album, but I haven't heard much more out of it.
I adore this song to pieces. It's one of my favourites.
Shocked to see anyone actually knows this band. It's a shame this was their only album.
"I saw a coulor and I chased it in the sky" What song was that. I loved that one man.
Wow. I see I am coming at this much later on…here goes. The title itself “Raining on the Sky” means the world is about to be, or just was turned upside down. One cannot ‘rain on the sky’ from the ground up.
First Verse:
We are in metropolis and it’s night. The hum of the neon lights cannot keep rhythm with whatever song is playing. If our world has just been turned upside down, this means a new song rhythm is probability playing that the lights have not been calibrated to. The warm lipstick - a woman is present. The playground are the streets of metropolis and the moonlight has turned them into a playground.
Moving shadows means we are driving on these streets or riding on a bus or a train. A woman (probably the target love interest of the song) has had a manicure on he nails and is fresh from a bath where she has splashed with Jean Nate after wash. We are getting ready to go out dancing for a night on the town. At this club/bar/house party, people will all be trying to make a fresh start, building bridges from alivers of another’s dreams.
Refrain: The pursuer pledges to get whatever his love interest wants. He also confirms that should she kiss him, it will seal this evenings bond or “tie” them together going forward.
Third Verse:
The two love interests are taking a checkered cab home. She falls asleep and dreams about Alice in Wonderland. The “Maddest Hatter” (her recent ex-boyfriend) has had her up until recently. In her dream this ex boyfriend (The Maddest Hatter) is assuring her that she is now spoken for by this new man she met tonight, and she is “home at last.” She’s been spoiled by rich men with Cadillac’s and bubble baths, but if she gives the new man the word, she’ll be home at last. Meaning with him, under more stable and less in the way of financial means, but happy, because this new man looks beyond her past and forgets about it.
Refrain: again, ledge to do whatever she wants.
Fourth verse: When your heart aches with Verizon. It has turned into a new day. Her caked eye lash and torn nylons represent her old way of doing things, but now we have a fresh beginning with this new man who is willing to look past her history. The two of them begin their new life together, upside down from the earlier life, by being able to go “Rainin on the Sky”…
