After The Rain

Lyrics

After the rain in the streets light flows like blood
 I can just taste salt on the humid wind
 Here comes that gasoline
 Spreading hungry rainbow over shiny black tar
 I'm blown like smoke and blind as wind
 Except for when your love breaks in
 Maybe to those who love is given sight
 To pierce the wall of seeming night
 And know it pure beyond all imagining
 Engine throb street cruise light bullet car flash
 Hollow beauty night gleam oily river tension glass
 Ultraflame! Glittering dust falling in slow motion
 Clouds tumbling one over another into apparent emptiness
 It's like a big fist breaking down my door
 I never felt such a love before
 Maybe to those who love it's given to hear
 Music too high for the human ear
 And clear as hydrogen to go singing
