Red Velvet was her name Her colors drawn in the NYC Subway There's a gas station near where the boys stole the liquor Velvet looks out her apartment window She wishes she didn't have to go Bright lights and a hand down under Hallucinations and passing out after Velvet throws away her cigarette Her colors on the house's floor Tears painted on the door Sneaking in the night A door open A road with a flaming trail America's hypocrites! Parties for the masochists! Pitch black in the parking lot! Words sprung! Love no one! Arizona's sunsets splatter the skyline with creamy yellow LA's skyscrapers are greeters to the cheery clouds Freedom is the priceless air that is breathed through arms and legs He saw her standing there Lonely at the Cafe on East 13th St Black Pearl was his name Black seated next to Red He wonders what pleasure has brought all this pain What circumstance left a trail of paint? Two beautiful shades are splattered on the walls of grey Black Pearl caresses this lovely medication He's a pearl with a crack His rage had marched through a shadeless parade Finally, color is here to splatter with the dark Red Velvet runs her rosy lips down a shadowy neck Black Pearl locks a crimson corsage inside his oily dark heart The darkness holds on like quicksand till the light comforms with a laugh Red Velvet clinging to a soul stuck in midnight As if she were a koala clinging to a tree Black and Red splatter again and again Till the bed is a painting so freshly wet Laughs all night begging for more Night after night till the joy is sore Early morning White light rips gently through the curtains Past portraits will always mix with their new colors Black Pearl stays entranced by euphoric dreams of seductive scarlet Red Velvet closes the curtains Like a cell mate who hates reminders of what she could've seen The colors she chose to absorb instead Sunlight wants to serve A lock is chocked, beat, and pulled The darkness awoken A ghoulishly arousing hand snaps hard A desire shouting Black's fear returning Roots cry black He wasn't always this way Red knows she needs to feel a breeze Black is afraid he'll lose the temporary cure A hand on a chest is felt Persuasion is a dangerous painting Black and Red is splattered once more Is this all Red Velvet is meant for? An erotic joy to burn her shades bright? No Sneaking in the night Door opened A road with a flaming trail Ms. Crimson is coming down the alleyway Ms. Crimson is her name and she'll burn it on your wall A maddening revenge that zip lines right into a broken heart Ms. Crimson will make sure you know her revolution An evolution of violence and banners hung in the lonely winter Ms. Crimson is on the run A revolution struck down The darkest black can't be fought with the darkest crimson The shades just mix and paint all night An orange shade A portrait burnt in a remorseful flame
