Jethro Tull - Rainbow Blues lyrics

Through northern lights on back streets ---<br>I told the coachman, ``just drive me on,<br>It's the same old destination<br>But a different world to sing upon.''<br>So he threw back his head and he counted.<br>I jumped out about five to nine.<br>And I waved at the stage door-keeper ---<br>Said, ``mister, get me to the stage on time.''<br><br>Oh, but the rain wasn't made of water<br>And the snow didn't have a place in the sun<br>So I slipped behind a rainbow<br>And waited till the show had done.<br><br>I packed my ammunition.<br>Inside the crowd was shouting, ``encore'',<br>But I had a most funny feeling ---<br>It wasn't me they were shouting for.<br>So when the tall dark lady smiled at me<br>I said, ``oh, baby let us go for a ride.''<br>And we came upon two drinks or four<br>And popped them oh so neatly inside.<br><br>Oh, but the rain wasn't made of water<br>And the snow didn't have a place in the sun<br>So we slipped behind a rainbow<br>And lay there until we had done.<br><br>Let me pack you deep in my suitcase.<br>Oh, there's sure to be room for two ---<br>Or you can drive me to the airplane<br>But don't let me catch those rainbow blues.
