Tear Garden - You And Me And Rainbows lyrics

You're number eight

You're name is Jane

With black hair, braids

And black lines around your eyes

Shades to hide your habit

I don't know your age

Though you guessed mine

My sign, your sign

The opening line is always just the same

The same intention

Destination: You and me and the rainbows

Loaded guns attract

We know the rules - we don't react

We wait in hope - we don't expect

Just you and me and the rainbows

Down here everything is fine

We have a straw, we have a line

We have a bag, a rock, a mountain

With a string of shepards driving lions

Aiming skewers at the sheep

Face down, asleep in onion fields

The frying fields

The worms they peep through holes

Which once were eyes

They blythe, they bake

Although we painted out the sky and the sun

There's only thunder

And you and me and the rainbows

Let's hide out in the lay-by

Let the time fly by

Tonights disguise - a car crash

With our wheels like shattered stars

Out dashboard charred

A windscreen like a graveyard for the flies

We're fast, fast, fast, fast, fast

Maggot - hungry flies are circling

Mourning as the watchers squat

With cameras, cakes and flasks

They're spitting, spitting as the blue lights flash

Axes, axes, axes swing

Broken wings. Broken wings.

But we'll still fly and we'll reach our destination

You and me and the rainbows

If we turn the lights down low

And watch the sky climb through the window

Will I watch your fingers grow

And stretch like butterflies in the shadows

Flexing, licking toes and binding as slowly

The sun sets on the same old hill

The same red glow - we're quite alone

Just you and me and the rainbows

Everything I own is in the corner of your room

It's covered with a sheet just like it died

But I will take a broom, sweep it new again

Arrange it - oh, I'll grow a dozen hands

No, I never will neglect my world again

I'm safe beneath my blanket - come home

For you for me and the rainbows

Loaded guns attract

We know the rules - we don't react

We wait in hope - We don't expect

Just you and me and the rainbows

Looking down
