I've heard somewhere over the rainbow,

Way way up high,

There's another land so beautiful

Holding court in the sky.

I heard at the rainbow's end

There's a pot of gold to be had.

Untold riches

To please any lass or lad.

I heard a rainbow was a promise,

I heard rainbows mean harmony,

I heard rainbows end the torrents

That fall on top of me,

But if I wish on a rainbow

The torrents don't stop,

My world keeps spinning out of control,

Keeps on running amok.

You can't fly over a rainbow

Or jump or soar or vault,

So belief in a better place over there

Is definitely brought to a halt.

And there's no gold at the end of the beautiful arc

It was a trick, a ploy, a con,

Because rainbows are in fact circles

That just go on and on.

So the thing that we all marvel at,

The beauty that captivates and awes

Has let me down; it isn't

What it's cracked up to be at all.
