Life At Rainbow's End

Ultravox


Streets I knew were raining, changing 
Addresses were rearranging 
The cold boy from the suburbs he left there
He'd read the book of no return 
And me, I burnt your picture 
For the ashes of the lords
For you had played your games too well
As the martyr and the boss

Chorus:
I suppose I chose a good introduction 
From a formerly trusted friend 
A good introduction to life at rainbow's end 
Life at rainbow's end Life at rainbow's end

Here I am a millionaire 
Sown into these dreams 
I burnt all the maps that lead here 
So no-one can ever follow me

Only lonely parties start 
At the dark side of this world
The gangster with the broken (?) arm 
Plays deaf cards for the girls 
I saw the final vicar make confession to a dancer 
He stood upon the bridge at dawn 
And the dancer kissed my cancer

(Chorus)
