what’s off the table, mommy
what has fallen to the floor?
what never even made it
what proves less is more?

when you carve your blessed beast
when your knife is painted red
will you smile for the cameras
with a tear to shed
just one tear to shed

(chorus)
cascading showers
rivulets of rain
rising waters in america
drowning once again
cascading showers
dropping from the clouds
cascading showers
no one can hear the screams
no one can hear the screams
among the silent crowds

when they showed you peter pan
his shadow cut and hid
how they made him walk the plank
for the crimes that he did

up jumped tiger lilly
up jumped captain hook
wendy went off to the mall
the lost boys, they all shook

(chorus)
cascading showers
rivulets of rain
rising waters in america
drowning once again
cascading showers
dropping from the clouds
cascading showers
no one can hear the screams
no one can hear the screams
among the silent crowds

it’s been said that tinkerbell
could die and then come back
just clap your hands real hard
she has got the knack

but when she’s gasping
and her pixie lungs are filled
with water from a nasty pail
will you still be thrilled?
do you want that thrill?

(chorus)
cascading showers
rivulets of rain
rising waters in america
drowning once again
cascading showers
dropping from the clouds
cascading showers
no one can hear the screams
no one can hear the screams
among the silent crowds

what’s off the table, mommy
what has fallen to the floor?
what never even made it
what proves less is more?

when you carve your blessed beast
when your knife is painted red
will you smile for the cameras
with a tear to shed
just one tear to shed
