Steve Lillywhite - Life at Rainbow's End (For All the Tax Exiles on Main Street) lyrics

Streets I knew were raining, changing Addresses were rearranging The cold boy from the suburbs, he left there He'd read the book of no return And me, I burnt your picture For the ashes of the lords For you had played your games too well As the martyr and the boss I suppose I chose a Good introduction From a formerly trusted friend A good introduction To life at rainbow's end Life at rainbow's end Life at rainbow's end Here I am a millionaire Sewn into these dreams I burnt all the maps that lead here So no one can ever follow me Only lonely parties start At the dark side of this world The gangster with the golden arm Plays d**h cards for the girls I saw the final vicar Make confession to a dancer We stood upon the bridge at dawn And the dancer kissed my cancer I suppose I chose a Good introduction From a formerly trusted friend A good introduction To life at rainbow's end Life at rainbow's end Life at rainbow's end
