You ve been taught that this won t do
They put me in the picture but the film turned blue
A glimpse of youTurning The Town Red.
A head full of brand new words and a mouth full of shocks
You re a big boy nowwith a face to stop clocks.
Turning the Town Red. (x2)
You made your bedand now you better dream in it.
The word that you once whisperednow you re screamin it.
Days drip down like bad wallpaper.
Pictures plastered on the ivy creeper between your old toy soldiers
and your mother s sleepers.
Turning the Town Red. (x2)
You made your bedyou better face the consequence.
A black pool opened at my feet into a dream sequence.
Turning the Town Red. Aah. (x4)
You know I heard her call my name
LeastI think that s what she said.
Surely I m the correlation that s gonna cause her shame
Sowhat s she doing in my bed?
Turning the Town Red. Aah.
(Repeat.)
