Description
I originally wrote "Gasoline Rainbows" for the show "Whale Wars" (a documentary style show on Animal Planet about whale poaching). Then the BP oil spill happened... And my song (sadly) fit the situation perfectly. Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols (both activists, trying to help with the clean-up in any way they could) heard the song and decided it would make a great title for a compilation album, with 100% of the proceeds going toward the efforts. That's how this song came about :)
Lyrics
Wherever the rain goes... It leaves gasoline rainbows On the water it looks beautiful But tragic when the waves have parted If we disappear Who gets the souvenir Or sees the outline of the trees that won't be there Once the machines have started Chorus: I don't wanna wait I don't wanna sit and hope I don't wanna tell you Don't wanna tell you Tell you I told you so... So prove me wrong And don't just let it go I don't wanna watch So I can tell you, Tell you I told you so... Tell you I told you so... It was chemical It was magical And when it hit the light It pleased the eyes Who knew it could be so fatal Yesterday... Is miles and miles away We took a picture to remind us That today we are caught in the middle Chorus x2 I'm not gonna wait I'm not gonna sit and hope I'm not gonna tell you Not gonna tell you Tell you I told you so So prove me wrong And don't just let it go I'm not gonna tell you Not gonna tell you Tell you I told you so I don't wanna wait I don't wanna sit and hope I don't wanna tell you Don't wanna tell you Tell you I told you so Wherever the rain goes Leaves gasoline rainbows On the water it looks beautiful On the water it looks beautiful
