-+- I. 'End of the Rainbow' -+-
Every night I think you're out there,
lighting all the candles on your bedside
dreaming of me.
Your colors,
they bend and climb onto your wall.
Every night I slide to the side, sleep,
keeping up the vacancies I don't post,
dreaming of you.
This rainbow,
I see the end and set a course onward.
-+- II. 'Oh Sweetness' -+-
I know it's not that different.
You're running hoods too soon.
The faces of my choosing,
a repertoire of fools.
You won't believe what happened.
I saw it clear at night.
A shoddy bus light campfire.
I lift my teeth and I bite.
Oh sweetness,
it's a mercy that you walk around my arms.
Oh sweetness,
you can ruin me with talk, I understand.
Oh sweetness,
you gregarious little upstart gemini.
Oh sweetness,
you're a war.
You're a warm, warm war.
I'm not the least bit worried
about the undercut.
The locks are twisted mysteries.
The flues are cranked up shut.
You won't believe what happened.
I wandered off the land.
Devouring Pacific,
forget you saw this man.
(chorus)
-+- III. 'The Valley Rains' -+-
Sewn into this habit,
strapped into my skin,
it's a devil for affection,
a shelf of tins of sin.
Blacken my shirt.
Drown in my shoes.
It's an accidental pardon.
Tens of mes and tens of yous.
Eight of these but one will do.
The last of the last.
Drawn straight paralysis.
Ropes down my back.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
hide the copper kiss.
The valley rains, I clear my throat,
I lock these chains around my wrists.
-+- IV. 'Oh Sweetness Reprise' -+-
(repeat chorus)
