Black Rain

St. Vincent



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
