Paint the Town Red (Album Version) Lyrics

You and I never quite fit in.

Like square pegs in a world of round holes,

And we can't soften the razor sharp edges of our souls.

But I'll put on that dress you like,

And we can sit in the corner of what's become our place in this world

And watch the night unfold.

Dance with me on a razor's edge, and whisper in my ear

"Let's ditch this scene, and instead, let's go paint the town red"

A sideways glance and a dirty smirk

As we spin webs of story lines for the people we see

Living lives we could only dream of stealing.

And we laugh til our stomachs hurt,

And we shine like the stars that align when our eyes lock.

It's poisonous and scintillating

Whisper what's in store for me as we get up and leave.

Let's ditch this scene and instead let's go paint the town red.

You make me feel so alive,

And life is short.

I'll waste mine all with you.

Let's ditch this scene and instead, let's go paint the town red.
