Before the Kiss, a Red Cap - RKO Radio Networks: Captured Live

So grab your rose and ring side seat
We're back home at conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo
Reds and wine, cokes of course

Oh, my Susie, my Susie
Why did we ever start?
It's morning now, you'd never know
The gin, the gin glows in the dark
Glows in the dark

And underneath the black light
Underneath it all
Four and forty redheads meet
Come to doom, doom the dawn

With threats of gas and rose motif
Their lips apart like swollen rose
Their tongues extend, and then retract
A redcap, a redcap, before the kiss
Before the kiss

Doors like flint and window panes, an endless shadow bar
The owner's boys have gone to work, to stop big deals behind that bar
Outside on the turnpike, they got this new hit tune
Thrills become as cheap as gas and gas as cheap as thrills

One threat and mundane here at last, expect to cross one more
Lecherous invisible, beware the livid cat
Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws, still ripe and fully bloomed
A rose that's not from anywhere that you would know, or I would care

And the owners act most cheerfully, back home at conry's bar
When their patrons' thoughts at last grow too big for their skulls
Awful things are happening, e've let this drama fold
And now the time has come at last to crush the motif of the rose

So grab your rose and ring side seat
We're back home at conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo
Reds and wine, cokes of course

Oh, my Susie, oh, my Susie
Why did we ever start?
It's morning now, you'd never know
The gin, the gin glows in the dark
Glows in the dark

Thank you so much
