There's always a party on funeral row

Where the cross flashes red to the street

And gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans

He's grazing the surface of sleep



The vultures on main street are eyeing you up

Calculating the wait of your bones

And midnight graffiti appears on your door

So we all can sleep safe in our homes



And the storms in the distance hold no rain

And i feel my resistance giving way

Shelter me from this sky

Dance wiht me one last time

Sao paulo rain

Sao paulo rain



Do not disturb this blood red earth

There's giants sleeping beneath

And carnival queens on their deathbed scenes

All go through the motions of grief

Take another hit

Let the bottle slip through your fingers and

Break like a promise made

The day i remember

My heart i will keep

My voice i surrender

And i will not speak to lie



We were so alive

We were so alive

Shelter me from this sky

Dance with me one last time

Sao paulo rain

Sao paulo rain
