Neon Crimson

The Paper Kites

Wonder at the scarlet avenger
Who tore out all my vitals
Washed them pink and cleanNever did I see such an ugly confession
Sprung from my lips and met with open arms
Such a prize must be showered with better than ′never sure'
No I′m owing more it's a shot of neon crimson to the brain

Lost sight in the streets of Manhattan
Walked alone through the George Square
Down the old Fifth Avenue
Never had I felt more alone in the big lights
I almost told you I wasn't coming home
And all the buildings were hiding my view of
Where I′m from and what I want
It′s a shot of neon crimson to the brain

Taste me, it's not wrong to embrace me
I know I seem like a stranger
Like a song you used to sing
But here I, here I stand at your feet
And you′re finding words to say
But the only thing that matters anyway
Is a shot of neon crimson to the brain
