Momma, momma don't you waste those prayers on me.
Momma, momma, won't you wash those tears away.
I'm so red my credit line's fucked up, bankrupt on borrowed time.
I'm so red my credit line's fucked up, bankrupt on borrowed time.

I paint all the red doors black.
Black to red, and back again.
Everybody say...
