lyrics

Every time the sun comes up
you get these flashbacks
and all the flashbacks
are about that summer
You took a job working at the Santa Fe Opera
Tonight you are testing your luck
at the casino after work
you drank just a little too much
or just enough
when the sun came up
you knew how the day was going to go
probably not well

You had a little x on your forehead
you may have joined a cult
you have all these new contacts in your phone
someone named Rainbow
someone named Cheyanne
and your tongue was stained blue
your tongue was stained blue
your eyes were still bloodshot
and you are not wearing any shoes
and you have a tattoo of a rainbow
on your ankle

At work the next day
everyone is invisible to you
and you still aren't wearing any shoes
and your tongue is stained blue
there is a voice that tells you what to do

Five years on you still got that rainbow tattoo
you still got that rainbow tattoo
you still got that rainbow tattoo
