Rainbow Store

Seen her rockin' the Rainbow Store

That pretty little doll that I'd seen before

Stayed too long with the borderline

My emotional landscape was strip-mined

What's left of my heart came out to cause a stir

She knew I was watchin' her

Lookin' like she'd love to give all things form

Started gettin' glad that I was born

She walked right up to me

Said, "What's it gonna be?"

At the Rainbow Store

She came over and she pulled my hair

Said, "Hey boy, what'cha doin' here?"

"Just shoppin' for my sister, it's her birthday soon"

She knew it wasn't true but she was cool

Pushed my neck against the elevator door

Kissed me like I'd never been kissed before

Made a face so sweet and mean

I went down like a submarine

She walked right up to me

Said, "What's it gonna be?"

At the Rainbow Store

Went all the way down to the abyss

It felt like almost happiness

Never thought I'd find myself here

Without guilt and without fear

I never knew it could be all right

I never knew bliss not to be finite

You never know despair or languishment

Once you live to complete this illusionment

She walked right up to me

Said, "What's it gonna be?"

At the Rainbow Store

She walked right up to me

Bam, went my ennui

At the Rainbow Store
