Black Rainbow

There's a black rainbow above my house
Mass of curtains in the floors
I think I'm glass I think I'm breaking it
Wrecking ball outside the door
Let the children act like furniture
For the ladies of the lawn
But I can't see them, I can't see at all.
It's nighttime, all the time
Bird outside the kitchen, fightin' his reflection
Tell him I got nothin' for him
Bird outside the kitchen, fightin' his reflection
What's he gonna win when he wins?
One kiss boys and girls of paradise
Lining up around the block
Back pockets full of dynamite
While neighbors talk and talk and talk
Bird outside the kitchen fightin' his reflection
Tell him I got nothin' for him
Bird outside the kitchen fightin' his reflection
What's he gonna win when he wins?
Throw
the phone out the window
If you want the neighbors woke
You'll have to shout out loud and set the bell and slow
If you want the neighbors woke
You'll have to shout even louder
