lyrics

oh but I’m redder than before
I don’t even see red no more

layers of nothing stand in my way
i’m lonelier saving up my change
for a woman who loves me more
or somebody to save your place

that living situation was fine
roll it slowly baby stretching out the time
can we go back to red again
can i lay you out and draw your lines

all that shivering into my chest can’t surely be a fiction
she slices up my stamina and proceeds to correct my grammar and diction

works her hardest just to harvest nine
minutes of every million she owns
she’s fine though
my lady slices me in slow-mo

but i’m redder than before
I don’t even see red no more

getting played is not my M.O
steal my love my love how far can you throw
I’ll up and fetch it back
my own medicine down my throat

wearing nothing is how I was born
no mornings have a redder dawn
than the ones where me and you
did some things we really wanted to

and where I was hunky dory doing drawings on your canvas in the dark
now i’m relieved of my recourse lacking the requisite tools to make a mark

i thought you took the make-up down to two eye lines
so I might stay cleaner on specialer [sic] nights
since then i’ve drunk wine though
something to do with my reasoning

why so gloomy if the passion isn’t ticking tiny clocks inside your mind?
but they’re ticking I can see them through the glass you use to cover your underside

works her hardest making up her mind
oh that roulette in motion, a perpetual potion of mine
the lady takes her time
