"The 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 only brothers only trace

Was the birthday birthday ashtray
I carry it 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 of 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
Keep falling down in the hotel hall again
Little drunk from the Warners' Christmas ball
Cut by love and carved by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade
Cut by love and carved by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade

I'll still remember my brother
I'll 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, oh

(Alright)
I picture him now sitting by the pool
Wearing a pink rubber swimming cap eating ice cream
With the girl with the silver curls sitting in his lap

I can 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, oh

Yes you are still my brother
Even when you change over so
Lock yourself in your hotel room now
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
Lock yourself in your hotel room,oh

I'll sell all things and secretly begin to live undergrond after the death of a friend
