Rainbow Veins

High-rise, veins of the avenue
Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue
Everywhere is balanced there
Like a rainbow above you
Streetlights glisten on the boulevard
And cold nights make staying alert so hard
For heaven's sake, keep me awake
So I won't be caught off guard
Clearly I am a passerby
But I'll find a place to stay
Dear Pacific day
Won't you take me away?
Small-town hearts of the New Year
Brought down by gravity, crystal clear
City fog and brave dialogue
Converge on the frontier
Make haste, I feel your heartbeat
With new taste for speed, out on the street
Find a road to a humble abode
Where both of our routes meet
The silver sound is all around
And the colors fall like snow
The feeling of letting go
I guess we'll never know

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes
And tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you
And shoot it through your veins
'Cause your heart has a lack of color
And we should have known
That we'd grow up sooner or later
'Cause we wasted all our free time alone

Your nerves gather with the altitude
Exhale the stress so you don't come unglued
Somewhere there is a happy affair
A ghost of a good mood
Wide-eyed panic on the getaway
The high tide could take me so far away
VCRs and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day
A popular gauge will measure the rage
Of the new post-modern age
'Cause somewhere along the line
All the decades align

We were the crashing whitecaps
On the ocean
What lovely seaside holiday
Away
A palm tree and Christmas lights
My emotion
Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone
As we spent the day alone

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes
And tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you
And shoot it through your veins
'Cause your heart has a lack of color
And we should have known
That we'd grow up sooner or later
'Cause we wasted all our free time alone
