Red Black and Blue
Red Black and Blue
Don’t put your arms around me
Displaying phony comfort
Trying to convince me that everything’s going to be alright
Houdini, I’ve seen this trick before
And I know the way this story ends
Busted bloody lips, swollen black eyes & a variety of blue bruises
That stands out menacingly
For everyone to see
Not the gentleness of I love you
It ends in red, black and blue
