We Turn Red lyrics

We got large and we got small

We got a swimming pool and a cannon ball

We turn red and we turn green

It's the craziest thing I've ever seen

Lost my mind 'cause I'm on the plastic

Who knew it's so damn drastic

Show me what it is you believe in

Slowly she sinks all your teeth in

Do you want to go fishing in New Orleans

Do you want to get up early in the morning

Take me to the river where we do the little storming

Hallelujah, I feel it warming

Sitting here I count the moons

The orders we obeyed

Every night 'fore we go to bed

I watch while the others pray

Send it off through Delaware just

Make it fair for the legionnaires

Paint a simple portrait of my kind

Permission to the heartless bombs

Gold Plated Hate and the waitress moms

Serving up the stories of my mind

Mexico, you are my neighbor

Home of the let's be braver

Give me all your sick and your tired

Races that we admire

Do you want to go dancing in Chicago

Trinidad's got it bad for Tobago

Take me to the lake where we do the Avocado

Hallelujah, a desparado

Sitting here I count the moons

The orders we obeyed

Every night 'fore we go to bed

I watch while the others pray

Send it off through Delaware just

Make it fair for the legionnaires

Paint a simple portrait of my kind

Permission to the heartless bombs

Gold Plated Hate and the waitress moms

Serving up the stories of my mind

Coming down from the deserts where you

Caught a glimpse of the billionaire

Tell me I'm the right one for the ride

Paper signs out on the lawns

Gold minds and the priceless pawns

Does your canyon really open wide

We got large and we got small

We got a swimming pool and a cannon ball

We turn red and we turn green

It's the craziest thing I've ever seen
