letra de fire engine red - robert francis

Loading...

tryna get her to stay home
was worse than pulling a sword from a stone
i’m sweatin’ bullets in palos verdes
please don’t leave me on my own

i’ve wanted her to be my wife
i wanted her to want that life
it ended the same way it started
behind the door
holding that knife
while i’m happy i was wrong
and misled, she took me too
your lipstick, fire engine red

you are brighter than a neon sea
of signs that say “no vacancy”
thе few brave men you’vе let check in
still brag about the times they’ve been

over the limit drunk on wine
below the mason-dixon line
i promise that i’d start to pray
if the police looked the other way

and i didn’t go to jail
wound up dead
i prayed each night
for your lips’ fire engine red

they said
“you cannot clear a jump that wide
a stunt like that is suicide”
but when i got the courage to
i spent the night alone with you

i think i’m the luckiest guy
i used to be too numb to cry
i don’t know how i timed this right
you’re just the prettiest sight
in the movies
people change
when they bled
inside my veins
your lipstick’s fire engine red

must admit i’m insecure
that’s what all those women were for
i don’t wanna be who i am
if n0body else gives a d-mn

we’ve been together ’bout a year
i can’t say that don’t bring me fear
i’m scared to come home every night
i’m scared to keep the checkbook tight

rented movies
in your room, in your bed
you kissed my cheek
with lipstick fire engine red

you always wear the same perfume
it reminds me of a hotel room
the one in which i swore i knew
i’d spend the rest of my life with you
but i tell you “you should take it off
i don’t wanna smell like that stuff”
sometimes my heart gets so dark
you sit and watch it fall apart

run a needle through what’s left, tie the thread
don’t let me leave
your lipstick fire engine red

what’s two people supposed to do
when restlessness gets hold of you?
i’m drowning in my drinking cup
i cannot, will not give you up

but if flowers never stay in bloom
how do we in our one bedroom?
we’re both victims of our fear
i’ll be a man and hold you near

if you leave me
you’ll survive in my head
i won’t forget
your lipstick’s fire engine red
