Blood Red Regrets

So flick a switch
Get it lit
Just shake a hip
Ears pricked
Pocket picked
Lip bit
In between the guillotine
And desperate means
On the coast, you caught a dose
Of blasphemy

And the wind, it blows and blows
Is it real or is it show?
Ask the stranger, he will know
It's just the same sad story
Of giving better than you get
I gave you pearls and diamonds
You gave me bruises and blood-red regrets

It's a saving grace, twisted fate
So peel the paint
Chronic use, self-abuse
So cut it loose
So poison path, do the math
First is last
Hard mile, sly smile, all the while

And the wind, it blows and blows
And the sky, it snows and snows
Ask the stranger, he will know
It's just the same sad story
Of giving better than you get
I gave you pearls and diamonds
You gave me bruises and blood-red regrets

And the wind, it blows and blows
And the sky, it snows and snow blows
Ask the stranger, he will know
It's just the same sad story
Of giving better than you get
Said I gave you pearls and diamonds
You gave me bruises and blood-red regrets

You gave me bruises and blood-red regrets
You gave me bruises and blood-red regrets
