Lyrics

Rainbows in Gasoline Written by Bruce Garnitz & Elle Spencer-Lewis

She looks at a rainy day
Says "let's go and play"
'ya wanna bet?
'ya won't get wet
She knows my mood's all grey and blue
She pulls me up and grabs my shoes
Counts to four... We're out the door

Why, why I'm cursed with someone who sees rainbows in gasoline
Why, why when she can plainly see that with my short fuse attached
She's not afraid to light a match

My nocturnal ways can seem absurd
I'll never hear a word
That she's had enough
Of my "stay up all night" stuff
I'll hear her laughing behind our bedroom door
It's like a beacon to a ship lost off shore
This raconteur... is on his way to her

Why, why I'm cursed with someone who sees rainbows in gasoline
Why, why when she can plainly see that with my short fuse attached
She's not afraid to light a match

I don't over-think it
I don't wanna sink it
I just think I'll drink it down
Down, Down, Down

When I walk out on a ledge
Before I reach the edge
She says "not so fast"... The next step might be your last
In fact, I never thought I'd live this long
Thought you'd hear a song
'bout my tragic end... But she saved me once again

Why, why I'm cursed with someone who sees rainbows in gasoline
Why, why when she can plainly see that with my short fuse attached
She's not afraid to light a match

Why Why Why Why Why I'm cursed... (Repeat Chorus)
