Your Lips Are Red - St. Vincent

Your lips are red

My face is red from reading your red lips

My hands are black

My hands are black inside this downtown taxi cab

This city’s red

This city’s red from riding us into the ground

This city’s black

This city’s black from all the ashes in downtown

Ashes in downtown, ashes in downtown

My face is drawn

My face is drawn on with this number two pencil

Your face is drawn

Your face is drawn from drawing words right from my lips

Words right from my lips, words right from my lips

Your lips are red

My face is red from reading your red lips

My hands are red

My hands are red from sealing your red lips

Sealing your red lips, sealing your red lips

Your skin’s so fair

Your skin’s so fair it’s not fair

Your skin’s so fair

Your skin’s so fair it’s not fair

Your skin’s so fair

You remind me

Your skin’s so fair it’s not fair

Your skin’s so fair

You remind me

Your skin’s so fair it’s not fair

You remind me…
