The Mean Reds

I love her just like everybody else

She says the sky is such a lonely place but she's stuck up there
Up there, up there
It doesn't matter what you think or have to say, she just doesn't care
Doesn't care, doesn't care
As she dances from lover to lover
Never alone but oh so lonely
She's bruised and blue and red all over
Hear her singing on the balcony

Where'd you come from
What's your real name
Your eyes glaze
I'll give you a moment to get your story straight
You lie, justify why
Your oil paint hair is almost dry
Way back home nothing's changed and the birds still call your name

Out about town I swear that everybody knows her, but no one knows who she is
No one knows me
She speaks a blend of accents and lies, I don't think she knows who she is
Oh sure I do
On the covers of the magazines, she reads between the lines
I think I've got it
She thinks she's found the answers
Now I've got to go
She's running out of time

If the sky is the limit then what are you waiting for
Which way to run, which way to go? I really don't know
If you wait for the rain to go will you ever see clear
But every moment that I wait is a precious moment put to waste
I swear that all you wanna do
I swear that all I want to do is run away
