São Paulo - CHIC

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 eying you up Calculating the weight 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 with me one last time

Sau Paulo rain, Sau 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

Sau Paulo rain, Sau Paulo rain

Where the cross flashes red to the street

And gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans
