Red And Green

Red heels and bright blue eyes Walking a steady line Fire bombs and mortar shells Deep kisses through the night Dancing on thin ice Chained up at the ankles I look in your red eyes And cover my green skin Twist like an adder Fall like a slice of snow Dart between rocks And I know what the darkness knows Annie, don't cry It's a delicate thing that we made Sparrow, don't cry It's a delicate thing that we made Blind time, weighed out in time Smite our own private sea Time, gargantuan beat Red and green Pick up my skin from the shelf by the bed I can slip into my old ways, slip down the stairs Let me make you sweet tea, let me make you hot toast Let me kiss you all over my only, my host And in time, time, somewhere in time Sail our own private sea Time, sweet, terrible, sweet Red and green Annie, don't cry It's a delicate thing that we made
