I search for the particular face The lipstick trembles under boomlights The lipstick my own brothers only trace
Was the birthday birthday ashtray 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
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
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
