Turning The Town Red

You've been told that this won't do

They put me in the picture but the film turned blue

A glimpse of you

Turning the town red

A head full of brand new words and a mouth full of shocks

You're a big boy now with a face to stop clocks

Turning the town red

Turning the town red

You made your bed and now you better dream in it

The word that you once whispered, now you're screaming it

Days drip down the damp wallpaper

Pictures plastered on the ivy creeper

Between your old toy soldiers and your mother's sleepers

Turning the town red

Turning the town red

You made your bed, you better face the consequence

A black pool opened at my feet into a dream sequence

Turning the town red

Turning the town red

Turning the town red

Turning the town red

You know I heard her call my name

At least I think that's what she said

Surely I'm the poor relation who can't afford the shame

So what's she doing in my bed?

Turning the town red

Turning the town red

Turning the town red

Turning the town red...
