12 sau paulo rain
there's always a party on funeral row, where the cross flashes red to the
street.
and gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans, he's grazing the surface od sleep.
the vultures on main street are eyeing you up, calculating the wait of your
bones.
and midnight graffiti appears on your door, so we all can sleep safe in our
homes.
and the storms in the distance hold no rain, and i feel my resistance giving
way.
shelter me from this sky, dance with me one last time... sau paulo rain... sau
paulo rain
do not disturb this blood red earth, there's giants sleeping beneath,
and carnival queens on their deathbed scenes all go through the motions of
grief.
take another hit, let the bottle slip through your fingers and break like a
promise made...
the day i remember, my heart i will keep, my voice i surrender and i will not
speak to lie.
we were so alive, we were so alive.
shelter me from this sky, dance with me one last time... sau paulo rain... sau
paulo rain
