"Rainbow" lyrics

Why can't I be a rainbow?
And live only for seconds and die forever young
Why do I have to go on?
For the kids and the neighbors, for love and for song

You've got me running around losing ground changing towns
Like a clown I was kicked, I was kicked to the ground, oh yeah
Stop playing me like play doh
Why don't you move back to Mars take my car it's been paid for
I've been working hard at changing the stars, I have altered my own ego
Stop bringing me down can't you hear the sound of angels calling
Angels singing

Why can't I be a river?
And run forever
And empty my heart and my head into the sea me for who I am
Not the tricks that you play or the grandstand

You've got me running around losing ground changing towns
Like a clown I was kicked, I was kicked to the ground, oh no
Oh-oh-oh, stop playing me like play doh
Why don't you move back to Mars take my car it's been paid for
I've been working hard at changing up the stars I have altered my own ego
Stop bringing me down can't you hear the sound of angels singing?
Angels singing

The seeds have all been sown I'm growing up to be famous
Everybody knows from your head to your toes that you're shameless
You can rain on my parade it's been rained on for decades
Stop bringing me down, I can't you hear the sound of angels singing?
Angels singing
Angels singing
Angels singing
