The Search for Cherry Red

Lyrics

In every car that passes me on the street I search for the particular face The lipstick trembles under boomlights The lipstick my only brothers only trace Was the birthday birthday ashtray Carried all along this way now It was a gift from my little sister On the very same day they took her away And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now All your dreams are cherry red inside of your head And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now All your dreams are cherry red inside In Hollywood I got the phone call That made my heart and my limousine stall Falling down in the hotel hall again Little drunk from the Warners' Christmas ball Cut by love and cut by switchblade He's been gone nearly half a decade Cut by love then carved by switchblade He's been gone nearly half a decade I still remember my brother I see his face on the billboards And the Polaroids that Stayed on my pillow 'til they faded So, lock yourself in your hotel room I'll take the next flight and be there by noon Lock yourself in your hotel roooooom Ohohhh Alright Now picture now, sittin' by the pool Wearin' a pink rubber swimming cap Eating ice cream with the girl With the silver curls Sittin' in his lap I can still still remember my brother I see his face on the billboards and the Polaroids that stayed on my pillow 'Til they faded some sad grey grey day Ohohhhh Yes, you are still my brother Even when you change over so Lock yourself in your hotel room I'll take the next flight and be there by noon I pictured it all, the fangs and claws Coarse short hair right then and therrrrrrrre I pictured it all now Hey! The fangs The fangs and the claws now So, lock yourself in your hotel room I'll take the next flight and be there by noon Lock yourself in your hotel roooooom Ohohhhhhh And so all things will secretly begin To live underground after the death of a friend Ohohhhhhh Oh oh oh Oh oh ohohhhh
