New York Dolls
Rainbow Store
Seen you rocking the Rainbow store
That pretty little doll that I'd seen before
Stayed too long with the borderline
My emotional landscape one street mind
Was lifting my heart to not cause a stir
She knew I was watching her
Looking like the lover that gave all things for
Starting getting glad that I was born
She walked right up to me
Said "What's it gonna be?"
At the Rainbow Store
She came over and she pulled my hair
Said “Hey boy, whatcha doin here?"
“Just shopping for my sister, it's her birthday soon”
She knew it wasn't true but she was cool
Pushed my neck up against the elevevator door
Kissed me like I've never been kissed before
Made a face so sweet in me
I went down like a submarine
She walked right up to me
Said "What's it gonna be?"
At the Rainbow Store
Went all the way down to the abyss
It felt like almost happiness
Never thought I'd find myself here
Without guilt and without fear
I never knew it could be alright
I never knew bliss not to be finite
You never know despair or languishment
Once you live through complete disillusionment
She walked right up to me
Said "What's it gonna be?"
At the Rainbow Store
She walked right up to me
There went my ennui
At the Rainbow Store
