I've seen the dark side of the moon;
Where locusts swarmed the frozen dunes.
Their bodies hummed an ancient song,
And we sang together all night long.
Oklahoma Rain,
Oklahoma Rain.
Falling on the Plane.
Oklahoma Rain.
The blood of many sons was shed.
The hardened earth stained crimson red.
Their souls are waiting underground
For the big, black sky to tumble down.
Now, some may say we've gone too far.
We've flown too high and seen too much.
The stars that fill the midnight sky
Have leaned in close enough to touch.
Satellites are overhead,
They’re staring down into my brain.
It's full of rusted dreams and ghosts
And a flood of Oklahoma rain.
Oklahoma Rain,
Oklahoma Rain.
Falling on the Plane.
Oklahoma Rain.
Coming down Again.
Oklahoma.
