This red feeling is not like being blue

it's a little wild animal

that tears apart your thoughts

it eats your brain and eats your soul

and after a while

the body can't stand alone



This red feeling is not like being blue

it's a thick poison seam

that runs with your blood

it cheats your brain and cheats your soul

and after a while

you'll start to make love



Help me today before sickness eats it all

and I'll fade away

in this sweet red day called love



This red feeling is not like being blue

it's a thing called hunger

a thing called need

it sleeps with you and eats with you

and after a while

you think it's life
