|
Old red eyes is back, red from the night before the night before |
|
Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door |
|
Old red's in town and sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound |
|
Just adding to the wrinkles on his deathly frown |
|
They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed |
|
They're only red from all the women that I could've wed |
|
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realize |
|
They could never be blue, they could never be blue |
|
They could never be blue, they could never be blue |
|
Listen up old red, you never listened to a word the doctor said |
|
He told you if you drank another you'd be dead |
|
Old red eyes is back, his shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore |
|
He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw |
|
They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head |
|
They're only red from all the things I could have done instead |
|
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realize |
|
They could never be blue, they could never be blue |
|
They could never be blue, they could never be blue |
|
Blue is a street without an end |
|
Red is the color of my hell |
|
Blue is a greeting from a friend |
|
Red is the color of farewell |
|
Old red he died and every single landlord in the district cried |
|
An empty bottle of whiskey laying by his side |
|
A lazy little tear running from each eye |
|
They could never be blue, they could never be blue |
|
They could never be blue, they could never be blue |
