there was a fine rain There was a red wine There was a long whistle And it was a good sign There was a band playin' Somewhere off-screen There was a girl sayin' "come clean." Chorus In a dream On a busted afternoon In a haze On a busted afternoon In a bad way On a busted afternoon There was a sad truth There was a punchline And there was a long whistle And it was a good sign And there was a long goodbye There was a long goodbye (repeat chorus)
