In every car that passes me on the street I search for the particular face The lipstick trembles under boomlights The lipstick my own brothers only trace
Was the birthday birthday ashtray I carried all 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 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 Falling down in the hotel hall again Little drunk from the Warners' Christmas ball Cut by love and cut by switchblade He's been gone nearly half a decade Cut by love and cut by switchblade He's been gone nearly half a decade
I still remember my brother I 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 Ooo-oh
Now picture now Sitting by the pool With a pink rubber swiming cap eating ice cream With the girl with the silver curls Sitting in his lap
I cant 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 Ooo-oh
Yes you are still my brother Even when you changed over so Lock yourself in your hotel room and 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 Knock yourself in your hotel room Ooo-oh
And so our fate will secretly begin To live undergrond after the death of a friend
