Her face is down And her fingers hang loose Like horsetail cigarettes Looks like half a man is all she gets tonight My little Hercules Never hurt anyone And he's the only way of getting home So when you're between her lips And the spine of her bed When everything turns red Well I see red as well When you see the colour of love I see the colour of hell I lose myself And I fall away Past the sad and long dog days Through a world in which i don't belong anymore Past the barstool boys Who take and take me anyhow But they never take you away So when you fall beneath her sheets I lose my head When everything goes red Well I see red as well When you see the colour of love I see the colour of hell Lord, lead me on To a world that I can no longer find My dear you are all the time
