; Through northern lights on back streets ---
I told the coachman, ''just drive me on,
Its the same old destination
But a different world to sing upon.
So he threw back his head and he counted.
I jumped out about five to nine.
And I waved at the stage door-keeper ---
Said, ''mister, get me to the stage on time.

Oh, but the rain wasnt made of water
And the snow didnt have a place in the sun
So I slipped behind a rainbow
And waited till the show had done.

I packed my ammunition.
Inside the crowd was shouting, ''encore,
But I had a most funny feeling ---
It wasnt me they were shouting for.
So when the tall dark lady smiled at me
I said, ''oh, baby let us go for a ride.
And we came upon two drinks or four
And popped them oh so neatly inside.

Oh, but the rain wasnt made of water
And the snow didnt have a place in the sun
So we slipped behind a rainbow
And lay there until we had done.

Let me pack you deep in my suitcase.
Oh, theres sure to be room for two ---
Or you can drive me to the airplane
But dont let me catch those rainbow blues.
