| 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 |
