Please don't step on my rainbow
It's only staying for a while
And it won't be too long
Until the day is on the run
And night time will shutter its smile

Oh, please don't step on my rainbow
It's only staying for a while
And it won't be too long
Until the day is on the run
And night time will shutter its smile

Please don't cough in my doorway
Go if you're going, stay if you're staying
And if you'd be so kind to lend me money for some wine
Then you won't have to catch your train

Please don't step on my rainbow
It's only staying for an hour
And if the price of gin can make your money look too thin
It's only 'cause this government's in power, oh

Please don't talk on my phone now
It seems silly but it's true
That if you wear a heart which is political or art
Then they might like to question you

Please don't step on my rainbow
It hardly ever comes around
And I may have a writ because I didn't sign for it
You know how people talk in a small town

Please don't step on my rainbow
It's only staying for a while
And it won't be too long until the day is on the run
And night time will shutter its smile
