Lyrics: Umbrella

sometimes i wish that i was sober
sometimes i wish that i was cinderella
it's gonna rain before the night is over
i wish i had an umbrella

i wish i had me a cigar
so's i could be a sporty fella
wish i could handle bein' in a bar
i wish i had an umbrella

a big black umbrella
with a smooth black handle
and eight spikes, diamond-sharp
around the dark circle

my eyes keep catchin' the glass doorways
with the drippin' umbrellas huddled up in the corners
like a band of broken ravens recoverin' the day
hid away from the prying eyes of their mourners
and i could walk right through a revolving door
just like i had just been there before
and i could pick up an umbrella just like it was mine
and say something like 'i won't forget this next time

got my eyes on the horizon
i can't see no trace of yella
i guess it ain't all that surprisin'
i wish i had an umbrella

a big black umbrella
with a smooth black handle
and eight spikes, diamond-sharp
around the dark circle
