There's always a party on funeral row
Where the cross flashes red to the street
And gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans
Fill
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
Fill
Shelter me from this sky
Dance with me one last time
Sao Paulo Rain x2
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
x2
We were so alive
We were so alive
Shelter me from this sky
Dance with me one last time
Sao Paulo Rain x2
x5
