Turning The Town Red

You've been told that this won't do
So you're turning the town red
They put me in the picture but the film turned blue
A glimpse of you
Turning the town red

You said they carried you shoulder high
After turning the town red
Now you've lost that lovin' feelin'
And you don't know why
Turning the town red

You made your bed and now you better dream in it
The word that you once whispered, now you're screaming it
Turning the town red

Days drip down the damp wallpaper
Pictures plastered in an ivy creeper
Between your old toy soldiers and your mother's sleepers
Soon you'll be turning the town red

Don't get the needle with the boys in the blocks
Find yourself alright when the bathroom door locks
You're a big boy now with a face to stop clocks
Soon you'll be turning the town red
Turning the town red
Turning the town red

You made your bed, you better face the consequence
A black pool opened at my feet into a dream sequence
Turning the town red

I smell trouble I heard her call my name
At least I think that's what she said
Surely I'm the poor relation who can't afford the shame
So what's she doing in my bed?

You know that scent that often lingers
After turning the town red
I can't find it on my face or even on my fingers
I'm turning the town red
Turning the town red
Turning the town red
Turning the town red
