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
