Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Far from the crazy scenes on pavements down below
Far from the hopes and dreams of crashing out too low
And if you walk out that door
Then you're walking out forever
[Verse 2]
Down below the searing heat is cracking paving stones
The city's close to boiling point, you watch the scene unfold
And you walk out the door
And you're walking out forever
[Verse 3]
And you ask yourself are you living in a dream?
Piccadilly Gardens, selling dreams on giant screens
And as you make for the door
This time you're walking out
Out forever
[Chorus]
So the rain falls down, and nothing
Lasts forever
If you could only have seen what I've seen
With your eyes
Then you will know that everything
Expires
[Refrain]
Oh, renegade
[Verse 4]
3 a.m. on a rain-soaked street
You're looking for someone
You see her
Your mind skips a beat
And you tell yourself it's now
Now or never
Far above the mayhem where we're told we live the dream
Piccadilly Gardens, the same old sorry scenes
As you walk out the door
Then you're walking out
You're out forever
[Chorus]
So the rain falls down, and nothing
Lasts forever
And if you could only see what I've seen
With your eyes
Then you'll know that everything
Expires
[Refrain]
Oh, renegade
[Bridge]
Far from the hopes and dreams of crashing out so low
Oh, far from the hopes and dreams of falling down below
[Chorus]
And the rain falls down, and nothing
Lasts forever
Then you know that everything
Expires
Expires
[Refrain]
Oh, renegade
Oh, renegade
