The Search For Cherry Red

(album: Little Bastards - 2020)

In every car that passes me on the street
I search for the particular face
The lipstick trembles under boom lights
Lipstick my only brother's only trace
Was the birthday birthday ashtray
Carried all along this way (Now) and
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
A little drunk from the Warners' Christmas ball

Cut by love and carved by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade
Cut by love and carved by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade

I still remember my brother
See his face on the billboards and the
Polaroids that stayed on my pillow
Till they faded some sad, sad grey day

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

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
