Red Lipstick

Lying on this bed
In handcuffs and chains
It seems I've woken up
In one of your games
Left here alone
With the sound of a dripping sink
I can't reach my phone
It gives me some time to think.

I don't know why,
I'm so into you
I don't know why,
But I like the abuse.
It makes no sense,
It makes no sense at all
I'm at your beckoning call
Just waiting for the rise and the fall

I know the risks
Still I'm taking the chance
Caught up in this
Praying mantis' dance
I think I'm slowly losing my grip
With each crack of the whip
It's the sadomasochistic
Scarlet red lipstick

That red lipstick
RED
That red lipstick...

You're not like any other
I've met before
Just one. skeleton key
Unlocks all your doors
You've got one rule
It's that nothing can go to waste
Here lies your fool
Waiting for one more taste

I don't know why,
I'm so into you
I don't know why,
But I like the abuse.
It makes no sense,
It makes no sense at all
I'm at your beckoning call
Just waiting for the rise and the fall

I know the risks
Still I'm taking the chance
Caught up in this
Praying mantis' dance
I think I'm slowly losing my grip
With each crack of the whip
It's the sadomasochistic
Scarlet red lipstick

That red lipstick
RED
That red lipstick
RED

I've had my own struggles between
Love and war (he's had his struggles)
And the wounds from those old battles
Are still tender and sore (oh so tender)
So show me some pain
For pain is not a stranger to me (no, it's not a stranger to me)
I might be going insane
But, misery loves company

I don't know why,
I'm so into you
I don't know why,
But I like the abuse.
It makes no sense,
It makes no sense at all
I'm at your beckoning call
Just waiting for the rise and the fall

I know the risks
Still I'm taking the chance
Caught up in this
Praying mantis' dance
I think I'm slowly losing my grip
With each crack of the whip
It's that sadomasochistic
Scarlet red lipstick

That Red lipstick
RED
That Red lipstick
