This red feeling is not like being blue It's a little wild animal That tears apart your thoughts It eats your brain and eats your soul And after a while The body can't stand alone This red feeling is not like being blue It's a thick poison seam That runs with your blood It cheats your brain and cheats your soul And after a while You'll start to make love Help me today before sickness eats it all And I'll fade away In this sweet red day called love This red feeling is not like being blue It's a thing called hunger A thing called need It sleeps with you and eats with you And after a while You think it's life
