Search For Cherry Red

In every car that passes me on the street

I search for the particular face

The lipstick trembles under boomlights

The lipstick my own brothers only trace

Was the birthday birthday ashtray

I carried all along this way now

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 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 limosine stall

Falling down in the hotel hall again

Little drunk from the Warners' Christmas ball

Cut by love and cut by switchblade

He's been gone nearly half a decade

Cut by love and cut by switchblade

He's been gone nearly half a decade

I still remember my brother

I see his face on the

billboards and the polaroids that

stayed on my pillow 'til they faded

So lock yourself in your hotel room

I take the next flight and be there by noon

Lock yourself in your hotel room

Ooo-oh

Now picture now

Sitting by the pool

With a pink rubber swiming cap eating ice cream

With the girl with the silver curls

Sitting in his lap

I cant still still remember my brother

I see his face on the billboards and the

polaroids that stayed on my pillow

'til they faded some sad grey grey day

Ooo-oh

Yes you are still my brother

Even when you changed over so

Lock yourself in your hotel room and

I'll take the next flight and be there by noon

I pictured it all the fangs and claws

coarse short hair right then and

There, I pictured it all now

Hey!

The fangs, the fangs and claws now

So lock yourself in your hotel room and

I'll take the next flight and be there by noon

Knock yourself in your hotel room

Ooo-oh

And so our fate will secretly begin

To live undergrond after the death of a friend
