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
