I'll drink whiskey from the bottle I'll drink sherry or moonshine But my love is like a rare, red wine: A sacrament, Exquisite, Hard to find The gladiolas in slow motion Scar of tulips in the snow But my love is like a red, red rose: Coveted, Expensive, Hard to grow Is she screaming bloody murder? Is she thrown across the bed? My love is red as any crime scene From the curtains to the carpet, man If you know what i mean There is no other color scheme My love is red as red as red can be There are fireworks over the skyline Fire engine down the street But my love is red as sunset on the sea My love is red Too vivid To be believed My love is red
