Hello, rainbow What an afternoon you've chosen to appear to us You're looking quite, quite lovely How are my friends, those clouds? Sweet, sweet mother don't you cry again My sister spoke of children dying, dying In her womb Brother, keep your wallet underneath the covers When the snow comes Winter gets so cold So cold my palms can sweat no more So, I reach for my head I understand nothing I reach for a constellation that seems to be growing Growing stronger than me Built by a beast Built by a beast Blue van driving north through Canada So long, ole Louisiana and a fist full of friends You call, nothing here but emptiness Though somehow, I feel the most comforted With no one, with no heat and no telling where we'll wake up next Oh, the yard springs to life the warmest water Cleansing, and oh my god, what's the matter with the sky? Oh, look, look, here it comes, that Borealis! My eyes have not seen anything like it What a world is this? So I reach for my head, I understand nothing I reach for a constellation that seems to be growing Growing stronger than me Built by a beast Built by a beast Laying in his cell, confined to just Euphoric painless memories and mine A nurse can't seem to tell if he's alright Ivory sends him dreaming of his children Does he really even know them? There's no pain, but this cancer can't be good So I am hanging on his every word Pleading, "You've done the best you could." His face weak from all the medication I'm determined to sing him all my revelations Send him on his way Well, pa, I'm sure you're in line with whatever you got coming But I'm sure there were times you've felt absolutely nothing At all in your head At all in your bed At all in your head Well, pa, I'm sure you're in line with whatever you got coming But I'm sure there were times you've felt absolutely nothing At all in your head At all in your bed At all in your head
