Quick As Rainbows - Kitchens Of Distinction

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
