shade from a rainbow

i followed a rainbow...

until it followed me

as beautiful as it was

it still spooked my habit...

of being not afraid

So, i'm walking around town

a rainbow on my tail

i'm in the throes of something

resembling a breakdown...

of the nervous type

what's it like?

a rainbow after you?

It's like living fast and going nowhere

no matter what else you do

So, i'm thinking i'll bargain with the devil

in the shade

i'll pay with my soul's regret.

the notion of a rainbow waylaying me..

to my world, no longer lent.

The transaction was quick.

My soul for freedom from

a psychotic rainbow body

not belonging to anyone

so, i, safe and sound

in that shade where i did find

the devil lurking

and the rainbow following just behind

only one thing need i know.

the plain and bitter truth

i gave in i gave up, no worries

the devil saved my life...

The devil has been paid.
