Quick As Rainbows

As she walks home tonight

To her house and ignores the stars

She knows there's no-one waiting

Tomorrow isn't clear enough

To give her strength or make her want

To wake and walk in the morning.

And there's hope that I've taken

And there's drugs to make it painless

And men, we're quick as rainbows,

Always rare to keep her thirsty

And I've gone, like she'd always known.

As I walk home tonight,

To my house and ignore the stars,

I know there's someone waiting,

Tomorrow is very clear,

It gives me strength and makes me want

To wake and walk in the morning

But there's hope that I've taken

And there's drugs to make it painless

And men, we're quick as rainbows,

Always rare to keep her thirsty

And I've gone, like she'd always known.

There were times of troubled dreams of hate

I'd take her down to the lake with our love

Watch it swim, we'd watch it drown

Watch our love bob up and down.

And there's hope that I've taken

And there's drugs to make it painless

And men, we're quick as rainbows,

Always rare to keep her thirsty

And I've gone, like she'd always known.

Always corpses at breakfast time.
