If you’re not the one I run to, where do I go?
If you’re not the one I come to, when the trouble shows.
Red door, blue door I don’t care, any old door, just open one for me.
I don’t care which one opens first.
‘Cos if it bruises you then it cuts me deep.
If it breaks your limbs then it puts me to sleep
And the city is redder than hot tonight
I don’t wanna do it anymore I just wanna fight.
If your body’s cold and empty, well I’ve got a reason;
Take a count of the scratches on my back this mating season.
I’d definitely beg, I’d steal, I’d run around shouting about your virtue and your kindness and your charity bills, with a flag of your face just to get my fill.
