I hear the seven deadly sins and the terrible twins came to call on you
D A7 D G A7
The bigger they are baby, the harder they fall on you
D G A7

And you were always the same, you persevere on the same old pleasure

Oh and it never rains around here, it just
comes pouring down

You had no more volunteers, so you got profiteers for to help you out
Well with friends like that babe, good friends you had to do without,
And now they've taken the chains and the gears from off the old
merry-go-round,
It never rains around here, it just comes pouring down.
Now your new Romeo, he was just a gigolo, when he let you down,
See the faster the are babe, the faster they get out of town
Leaving make up stains and the tears of a clown,
And it never rains around here, it just come pouring down.

Oh you were just a rollercoaster memory, I don't know why I was even
passing through,

I saw you make a date with destiny, when he came around here
asking after you
In the shadow of the Wheel of Fortune you're busy trying to clear your
name,
You say, 'I may be guilty yeah, that may be true, but I'd be lying if I
said I was to blame'
See we could have been major contenders, we never got no money no breaks
You got a list of all the major offenders, you got a list of all their
major mistakes.
And he's just a-standing in the shadows and you smile that come-on smile
Oh and I can still hear you say as clear as the day, 'I'd like to make
it worth your while.'

Ah but it's a sad reminder when your organ grinder has to come to you
for the rent

And all you've got to give him is the use of your side-show tent

Now you know what they say about beggars, you can't
complain about the rules,
A7 Em7 A7 Bm G6

Now you know what they say about beggars, you know who's
the first to blame his tools
