you've led me on
with a cheerful song
to view from the bridge

on the other side of a rainbow
was a pot of gold

a silver slide two arm-lengths wide
fell to the floor

where all the children were
the bedroom closet
hide all of life's bullshit

shut in the dark
when the truth hurts
??
came out of the heavens
and into the clouds

sticks and stones
maybe they will break my bones
leave me black and blue
skin my knees
play hide and seek
with my self esteem

but the story goes
there's a rainbow
high up in the clouds
with a pot of gold
for the one who can
climb up to the top
above it all when
the truth hurts
??
came out of the heavens
and into the clouds
