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
