Lyrics Rainbow - Candyland

Rainbow

And maybe I should take a train and lie down in the aisles
Listenin' awhile to the simple beat singing me to sleep
And maybe I wake at the crack of noon, forgetting where I’m from
Guess there was a hole in our saviour’s bag
Where we fell out and some got dragged
And maybe when I grow up I’ll ride out to sea
And tell tall tales of my home town like it’s somewhere good to be
And then the sea is torn apart and I know Moses is the star
I see a rainbow, through the flames in my eye
I never felt this good, I never got this high
And maybe it is evening and the street lamps start to shine
Stretching like a string of sorrows down unto the dazzling waters
Where lonely dockside daughters are pacing out the pier
And they say the old money is passing through
Well smack my brows on the avenue
And then the stars begin to rock like Galileo drunk
And see me looking skyward — not knowing who to thank
For I hurt from holding secrets, this Jericho’s on fire
A burning necklace 'round me, these city walls surround me
I see a rainbow, through the flames in my eye
I never felt this good, I never got this high
I bleed so that the stars may shine
Wild horses are kicking inside me
And maybe some seek comfort here with sounds of crystal streams
With dreams of nightingales, seen only in battered books
Riding from the subway trains, screaming from the cracks
And love like a healer for every wound — but no one’s saved
No one’s immune
I see a rainbow, through the flames in my eye
I never felt this good, I never got this high
