Up in the morning, man I hate this working
Baby what are we gonna do
You say life is for the taking, but it's only for the givin'
So babe I'll give it all back to you

Chorus
Everyday our lives never change, so we blame it on the midtown rain
All good people sing while they slave, and we'll blame it on the midtown rain,
Hey, hey, hey the midtown rain

Out in this traffic rolling through the city,
Man I'm going out of my mind
With those clouds in our eyes, the sun's behind the buildings
Babe its all we do to survive

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

But we learn to love it, we now embrace it, its hard to fake it maybe all of the time
I know its coming, I hear it rumbling, it starts to rain

Solo

Well the skirts are on the sidewalk, suits are in the alley
As the sky opens up on you
You say life is for the taking, but its only for the giving
And babe I'll give it all back to you

Repeat Chorus

The midtown rain, hey hey hey
The midtown rain, hey hey hey
The midtown rain, um um um
The midtown
