These lyrics are about depression. In my imagination, they would be set to a BritPop kind of beat, like one you might hear from Blur. But, again, what do I know. No one listens to me and I have no idea what I’m doing because I don’t know anything about music.
Red Hots
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
darkness all around
people tell you to turn
turn that frown upside down
takes more muscles to be sad
than to smile
can’t get too excited
that’s not allowed
might find myself in a strange new bed
what’s their name search my head
thanks again my dark, dark, friend
the red hots are to blame
give me the world then take it all away
red hots love me so
they refuse to go
red hots are here to stay
red hots
red hots
red hots
when they come for me
you know they will
I’ll be throwing thing over the wall
wish I was a butterfly as I smoke my cig
don’t you fret my love
they’ll get you get
we’re all to blame they say
red hots have got a lot
the red hots are to blame
give me the world then take it all away
red hots love me so
they refuse to go
red hots are here to stay
red hots
red hots
red hots
[bridge]
don’t get me started
about what comes next
I’ll pour myself a drink
slink into the darkness again
why do you care
I’m not really there
just a figment of a dare
the red hots have my name
the red hots make me a star
the red hots are to blame
give me the world then take it all away
red hots love me so
they refuse to go
red hots are here to stay
red hots
red hots
red hots
