lyrics

i was red
with belly up, i met a girl with my arms open
and i got hit with her strut
i had to start over with a crossed toe
i saw the girl get planted
with me in wood
and when the roller goes to roll
i get my things and go home
and i'm dying to go home
with belly up
i met a girl with my arms open
saw the girl get planted
now i'm planted

who said the body has to be left out when it moves to the right?
so i touch you on the left hard every night
although you wish that i had left that side out
who said it has to be on me?
but if i marked it on a woman
then i erased it off of you
like I never really let myself do
I am a man
i've got it all falling out
i'll sleep just as long now
and i save because all i can save will be mine
only mine
and you can wet a stick
or you can hem the back but it's not the same
i've got a woman i could visit
it's painless
a vision then a smack
then a vision

baby i will never believe
or leave, oh wait, i never
how many times have i called myself a thief?
too many
i never leave a stone unturned

the commotion settles when you stand there
and the glass under you lets you see their shoulders
i remember the morning you told me you liked mine
i mimed way out of the glass box
either way, i was red

you're a fire cage
look at my heart rattle

i can watch you with the eye of a man
that's not always me
that's not always him
but you like my feet to sink
you make me throw things when we are in bed
you like my feet to sink
i just feel like a bother
you don't want the white on your neck
when the shoulders you kiss aren't mine
and the shoulders you miss will be mine
you mimed your way out of the glass box
either way, i was red
