Glitter in the Rain

[Verse 1] Velvet afternoon On the backstreet stairs You’re drawing little stars Up your legs with a stare You laugh like you’re bored But your eyes They dare Every saint in the sky To come down and care [Chorus] Your bright belting blues and your pink lipstick Glitter in the rain Your silk boots gleam Spinning raw sugar Such a strange daydream You flick your hair And the clouds all scream Your bright belting blues and your pink lipstick Glitter in the rain Your silk boots gleam [Verse 2] You pirouette slow On the taxi hood (oh yeah) Silver on your lashes Like you knew it would You hum some secret Only night can hear Then you grin at the dark Make it disappear [Chorus] Your bright belting blues and your pink lipstick Glitter in the rain Your silk boots gleam Spinning raw sugar Such a strange daydream You flick your hair And the clouds all scream Your bright belting blues and your pink lipstick Glitter in the rain Your silk boots gleam [Instrumental Break] [High‑pitched distorted guitar solo over glam stomp and light bongos] [Bridge] Halo of hairspray Thunder on tinfoil wings You kiss a cracked mirror Say “I like what it sings” (mm-hmm) Every puddle on the pavement Is a tiny silver stage And you’re dancing on the decade Like you’re skipping on the age [Chorus] Your bright belting blues and your pink lipstick Glitter in the rain Your silk boots gleam Spinning raw sugar Such a strange daydream You flick your hair And the clouds all scream Your bright belting blues and your pink lipstick Glitter in the rain Your silk boots gleam [Outro] Keep those bright belting blues Let ’em glow Let ’em glow (hey!) Pink-print footprints down the midnight stream You turn once more Then you slip off-scene Your bright belting blues and your pink lipstick Glitter in the rain Your silk boots gleam
