Rainbow - Candyland

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
