Rainbow Store Lyrics - Singles - New York Dolls

Seen her rockin' the Rainbow Store 

That pretty little doll that I'd seen before 

Stayed too long with the borderline 

My emotional landscape was strip-mined 

What's left of my heart came out to cause a stir 

She knew I was watchin' her 

Lookin' like she'd love to give all things form 

Started gettin' glad that I was born 

She walked right up to me 

Said, "What's it gonna be?" 

At the Rainbow Store 

She came over and she pulled my hair 

Said, "Hey boy, what'cha doin' here?" 

"Just shoppin' for my sister, it's her birthday soon" 

She knew it wasn't true but she was cool 

Pushed my neck against the elevator door 

Kissed me like I'd never been kissed before 

Made a face so sweet and mean 

I went down like a submarine 

She walked right up to me 

Said, "What's it gonna be?" 

At the Rainbow Store 

Went all the way down to the abyss 

It felt like almost happiness 

Never thought I'd find myself here 

Without guilt and without fear 

I never knew it could be all right 

I never knew bliss not to be finite 

You never know despair or languishment 

Once you live to complete this illusionment 

She walked right up to me 

Said, "What's it gonna be?" 

At the Rainbow Store 

She walked right up to me 

Bam, went my ennui 

At the Rainbow Store
