Sao Paulo Rain Lyrics
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
Where the cross flashes red to the street
And gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans
He's grazing the surface of sleep
Calculating the wait of your bones
And midnight graffiti appears on your door
So we all can sleep safe in our homes
And i feel my resistance giving way
Shelter me from this sky
Dance wiht me one last time
Sao paulo rain
Sao paulo rain
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
Shelter me from this sky
Dance with me one last time
Sao paulo rain
Sao paulo rain

I love this song. It's my prefered one among all of tom mc rae ! The song deals with the poverty of Latin America and their love for the rain.
when he sings this song, it makes me want to cry. his voice is just so sad.
This is about an imaginary plague which will sweep through the earth. The midnight graffiti refers to the red cross which was painted on doors during the biblical equivalent.
beautifully sad gotta love it!
