Rainbows In The Dark - Tilly And The Wall[00:00:00]
One two three four[00:00:04]
I was kidnapped real young by the sweet taste of love[00:00:26]
Built a fondness for things that just weren't good enough[00:00:29]
I cradled the crow always shooed off the dove[00:00:33]
Which tagged me a naive son[00:00:37]
So the fortunate kids yeah they left on their lights[00:00:40]
And they stuck up their noses and started some fights[00:00:44]
Their parents all cackled at dirt on my hands[00:00:48]
While my father was slaving my mother explained it[00:00:51]
Sometimes that's just how it is[00:00:55]
So my sister went kissing a maple skinned boy[00:01:01]
Finally held up her fists said I'm done being coy[00:01:04]
And the neighborhood boys started buzzing with joy[00:01:08]
We finally had front page news[00:01:12]
Although it was sad I couldn't help but laugh[00:01:16]
Such ridiculous hate in the hot summer sweat[00:01:19]
I laid on my back let the punk record spin[00:01:23]
The stomping guitar it was shooting out stars[00:01:27]
It all went to my heart yeah some rainbows in the dark[00:01:30]
So I called up danger my friends and some strangers[00:01:38]
They stumbled and wavered one called me his savior[00:01:41]
They slipped me the blood in the whole of the vial[00:01:45]
But I didn't feel them change[00:01:49]
Then I met a man with a fist for a hand[00:02:00]
Held me flat on my back taught me how to give in[00:02:03]
Some phrases were shot pretty roses got tossed[00:02:07]
The gift of a fat lipped grin[00:02:11]
Now they're drilling my teeth while I'm soiling sheets[00:02:14]
With my lover she's counting the diamonds on rings[00:02:18]
And even when truth doesn't help with the sting[00:02:22]
Out of no numbers some harsh looking color[00:02:26]
You pull them out feel they're changed[00:02:29]
No need for a thousand cranes[00:02:33]
So I thank the city the lights that it's spinning[00:02:37]
The friends that I have and the shoes we're not shining[00:02:41]
The drunk horn's so violent all spinning out sounds[00:02:44]
But the color's so vibrant the color's so loud[00:02:48]
The newly born crying realizing what life is[00:02:52]
In the eyes of my grandpa the right people dying[00:02:55]
The see saw of love its rickety bounce[00:02:59]
The feeling of coming the feeling of going[00:03:03]
The mother the child the tame and the wild[00:03:06]
The sleeping in minor the gold leaf the tire[00:03:10]
The crooked the straight all the hip and the fake[00:03:14]
Oh I'm finally feeling the stitching of beautiful seams[00:03:17]
Sometimes you just can't hold back the river[00:03:25]
Sometimes you just can't hold back the river[00:03:32]
Sometimes you just can't hold back the river[00:03:40]
Sometimes you just can't hold back the river[00:03:47]
Hold back the river hold back the river hold back the river[00:03:54]
