Lyrics

Bloody Rainbow

[Verse 1]

Swirling hypnotic

Disrupts the girl and the skull-headed spider

The milk was low cal, but what did it matter?

All of her hopes had been shattered

[Chorus]

Thrilled to the minute

Bloody rainbow

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Bloody rainbow

[Verse 2]

Away in her chambers

She remembers a love affair

Steamy hot romance, she couldn't care

Looking through her record collection, no one was there

[Chorus]

Thrilled to the minute

Bloody rainbow

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Bloody rainbow

[Verse 3]

She's always thinking

Things could turn out right

Like walking the dog or flying a kite

Systematic routine blight

All alone and lonely at night

She fell asleep with the TV on

[Chorus]

Thrilled to the minute

Bloody rainbow

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Bloody rainbow

[Verse 4]

What a tribulation

There's finally salvation for the dead

It's the good things that they said

We all must have come from the past

Thrilled to the minute

[Chorus]

Bloody rainbow

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Bloody rainbow

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Bloody rainbow
