Red Red Red

Lyrics I don't understand about complimentary colors And what they say Side by side they both get bright Together they both get gray But he's been pretty much yellow And I've been kind of blue But all I can see is Red, red, red, red, red Now... what am I gonna do I don't understand about diamonds And why men buy them What's so impressive about a diamond Except the mining But it's dangerous work Trying to get to you too And I think if I didn't have to kill Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it Maybe I wouldn't think so much of you I've been watching all the time And I still can't find the tack But I wanna know is, is it okay Is it just fine Or is it my fault Is it my lack I don't understand about The weather outside Or the harmony in a tune Or why somebody lied But there's solace a bit in submitting To the fitfully, cryptically true What's happened, has happened What's coming is already on its way With a role for me to play And I don't understand I never understand But I'll try to understand There's nothing else I can do
