Sao Paulo Rain Lyrics

Rachael Yamagata Sao 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 of 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 wiht me one last time Sao paulo rain Sao 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 Sao paulo rain Sao paulo rain
