Red Rover

Here we are, back in the season of freedom
Just enough time to sow the seeds
You see love in the eyes of the young ones
With plenty of heat beneath the trees
She must've hit me like a drunkard with road rage
And now it's much too late to change lanes
Don't look for love in the eyes of yours truly, honey
I've too much wear-and-tear to play that game
The way she dress is the cat's pajamas
I've seen the players all beg to have her
'Cause when she open her floodgates, that sweet hurricane will leave you satisfied and battered
And with my hand on the wheel, it only takes one to ride, but it takes two to collide

Red, red, red rover now, flirting with the demons of desire
You say I'm the only thing you'd like to hold on to
'Cause everyone else here is a liar
Your red lips just keep on getting colder now
When you run away from the truth
Settling down can wait, you've got a future at stake
Don't sleep all the way through your youth

Riding into the sun, with the wind in your hair, there's no fight you wouldn't pick with death
Always taking the rough road, it's no big shock, you love it when I leave you catching your breath
But when I shower you with kisses
It reminds me of a sad memory
I can't dwell too long, get me back on the road
Send the light of reason back to me
Oh I'm prepared for the worst with a paranoid mind, in case you feel like slipping into reverse

Red, red, red rover now, riding with the demons of desire
You say I'm the only thing you'd like to hold on to
'Cause everyone else here is a liar
Your red lips just keep on getting colder now
When you run away from the truth
Settling down can wait, you've got a future at stake
Don't sleep all the way through your youth

Drop dead babe
You never make me beg
Seamless tattoos down to your legs
Quintessential movie scene but don't try to make a still frame out of my bed
Just make it last for one more night
And I'll bring to life the love scenes in your head...

Red, red, red rover now, clinging to the demons of desire
Settling down can wait, Love can be a mistake
Don't sleep all the way through your youth
