Before the Kiss a Redcap (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 suzy, my suzy
Why did we ever start
Up on till 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 'til the dawn
With threats of gas and rose motif
Their lips apart like a 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 the bar
Outside on the turnpike
They got this new hit tune
Thrills become as cheap as gas
And gas as cheap as thrills
One thrill and mundane here at last
Expect the cross one more
Lecherous invisible
Beware the limping 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 boys 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
We've let this drama fold
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 suzy, my suzy
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
We're back home at conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo
Reds and wine, cokes of course
Oh my suzy, my suzy
Why did we ever start
Up on till 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 'til the dawn
With threats of gas and rose motif
Their lips apart like a 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 the bar
Outside on the turnpike
They got this new hit tune
Thrills become as cheap as gas
And gas as cheap as thrills
One thrill and mundane here at last
Expect the cross one more
Lecherous invisible
Beware the limping 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 boys 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
We've let this drama fold
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 suzy, my suzy
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
