(VAI) Remix - Rainbow Universe, By Proxie

Lyrics

[Intro – spoken, low, close] Out of this door might come something Or we might send something through That was the warning That was the prayer Then somebody laughed And warmed up the machine [Verse 1] They built a circle under the ground To teach the dark to turn around White coats singing to a hungry ring Asking nothing what it might bring They said the math was mostly clean They said the ghosts were unforeseen They said the door was only theory Till the walls got bright and the sky got weary [Pre-Chorus] Known knowns in a paper cup Unknown unknowns coming up Somebody wrote it Somebody signed Nobody stood at the end of the line [Chorus] Rainbow universe by proxy Color bleeding through the seam Nobody touched it Everybody caused it Now we’re living in the beam Rainbow universe by proxy Light poured out where the dark should be They opened a door Then blamed the weather Now the weather looks like me [Verse 2] Gravity took off its shoes Walked through town with nothing to lose Humpty fell and the wall held still Eggshell law on a powdered hill Math is hard and smell is fast First one there and the last to pass He who smelt it didn’t deal it I have proved that more than once [Pre-Chorus] One more switch One more spark One more sermon in the dark Somebody said Do not be afraid That is how the worst things get made [Chorus] Rainbow universe by proxy Color bleeding through the seam Nobody touched it Everybody caused it Now we’re living in the beam Rainbow universe by proxy Light poured out where the dark should be They opened a door Then blamed the weather Now the weather looks like me [Bridge – heavier, slower] Black rain walking with the December wind Something came out Something went in The machine kept humming The room stayed clean The men wrote notes On what they had seen Hope kicked the door Before it could close Fire on her blade Ash on her clothes She said You made a world You cannot name Now tell me who You plan to blame [Breakdown] Unknown unknowns That’s what they said Unknown unknowns Put a spoon in my head Known knowns Here come mine Blood on the lever Light on the line Known knowns Do not kneel Known knowns The wound is real Known knowns The door was made Known knowns Somebody paid [Chorus – bigger] Rainbow universe by proxy Color bleeding through the seam Nobody touched it Everybody caused it Now we’re living in the beam Rainbow universe by proxy Light poured out where the dark should be They opened a door Then blamed the weather Now the weather looks like me [Outro – spoken over fading noise] Out of this door might come something It did Or we might send something through We did And somewhere beyond the county line Carl sat upside down Two-Guns laughed Chappy coughed once And Hope kept driving Through the rainbow fire
