The Young Dubliners - Red lyrics

Paint on your nail smells like kerosene Before these blisters we were squeaky clean We were Mr. and Mrs. bu*ter and Cream Sweet things turn sour honey, love's never clean And I see red, red, red Don't you hear what I said? And it's thicker than the water It'll rush into your head And I see red, red, red Don't you hear what I said? They're pulling on my strings Baby, shaking up the bed Creeps in the attic, putting salt on our tails Big bucks and high heels drove us both off the rails We were sun gods in Athens but uncommonly pale Tans don't last long, baby, white bread gets stale And I see red, red, red Don't you hear what I said? And it's thicker than the water It'll rush into your head And I see red, red, red Don't you hear what I said? They're pulling on my strings Baby, shaking up the bed And I"m near you but I can't hear you but I'm out here guessing You're guessing too You're guessing too And I see red, red, red Don't you hear what I said? And it's thicker than the water It'll rush into your head And I see red, red, red Don't you hear what I said? They're pulling on my strings Baby, shaking up the bed
