LyricsYou've been told that this won't do They put me in the picture but the film turned blue A glimpse of you Turning the town red A head full of brand new words and a mouth full of shocks You're a big boy now with a face to stop clocks Turning the town red 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 Days drip down the damp wallpaper Pictures plastered on the ivy creeper Between your old toy soldiers and your mother's sleepers 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 Turning the town red Turning the town red Turning the town red
You know 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? Turning the town red Turning the town red Turning the town red Turning the town red...
Alternate LyricsDemo Version: 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
