Red

Intro My love is like a red red rose, Snake on her shoulder and ring in her nose Sleeping it off in her swaddling clothes, innocent as she lies. I dont know where she comes from, Hanging with dealers and slick back scum. Dreaming of a Summer that never comes, waiting for me to die She is the daughter of the joshua tree, long time losers and og wanna be's Mammas in the corn and the fields are fallow, Soul needs saving but im to dam shallow. Break Sweet lorreta is pretty little nine, kicks like a mule but she bites just fine. I aint cleaned her in a mighty long time, taking her out tonight. Drip her in a bucket of kerosene, Mr Rogers on my tv screen. Friendlist sucker i've ever seen, We are precious in his sight We are the children in the joshua tree, Long time losers and og wanna be's Mammas in the corn and the fields are baron. Roof needs fixing but im way passed caring. Instro Break Othelia drowned in the cold cold flood, A thorn by any other name draws blood. Deep red drops on a scarlet bud Daddy we're coming home. We dont know where home lays now But we'll turn up some dam how Drawn to the barn and the busted plough And the graves are over grown We are the children of the joshua tree, long time losers and og wanna be's Mammas in the corn and the fields been trampled, You can't reason with a soul in shambles.
