Lyrics
The Letter ©1998 Wm. Dickson
I see you like a fly on the wall. Six eyes and a vengeance a pestilence to all.
Beelzebub is sitting next to me laughing to himself and feeling quite pleased.
And all at once, the rain came falling down.
The tears of God and angels all around, said
Send a letter to the world.
Out to all the boys and girls.
The writing's on the wall.
If we don?t love society, society is bound to fall.
I see you like a gypsy on the pier gazing in your crystal ball. The images are clear.
Seems there is disaster up ahead.The end is coming faster. The needles in the red.
And all at once, the waves came rising up.
To save us all we need a little love. so
Chorus

Chorus
After the rain comes down.
I?ll send it. I?ll send it.
I?ll send a letter to the world.
You have to believe in something.
