Martha Wainwright - Rainbow

Why can’t i be a rainbow? and live only for seconds and die forever young.
Why do i have to go on? for the the kids and the neighbors, for love and for song.

You’ve got me running around loosing ground changing towns like a clown i was kicked i was kicked to the ground
Stop playing me like play doh. why don’t you move back to mars take my car it’s been paid for.
I’ve been working hard at changing the stars, i have altered my own ego.
Stop bringing me down can’t you hear the sound of angels calling, angels singing

Why can’t i be a river? and run forever
and empty my heart and my head into the sea (see) me for who i am not the tricks that you play or the grandstand.

You’ve got me running around loosing ground changing towns like a clown i was kicked i was kicked to the ground oh yeah.
Stop playing me like play doh. why don’t you move back to mars take my car it’s been paid for.
I’ve been working hard at changing up the stars i have altered my own ego.
Stop bringing me down can’t you hear the sound of angels singing?

The seeds have all been sown I’m growing up to be famous
everybody knows from your head to your toes that your shameless
you can rain on my parade it’s been rain on for decades
stop bringing me down can’t you hear the sound of angels singing?
