Sao Paulo

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 weight 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 with me one last time Sau Paulo rain, Sau 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 Sau Paulo rain, Sau Paulo rain Where the cross flashes red to the street And gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans
