Paint Your Lipstick Red

 
i was born at the crack of midnight, baby, in the middle of a fever dream
i'm part vampire on my mother's side and i'll suck things out of you like you've never seen
i can crawl right through those contact lenses, settle in yr head
help you walk w/yr head held high and paint yr lipstick red
paint yr lipstick red, baby, paint yr lipstick red
help you walk w/yr head held high and paint yr lipstick red
i'm a radio controlled rock and roll stone soldier and i'm a-coming to wake you up
i take my orders from the mothership, baby, and i'm a-coming to shake you up
bring you back to the days way back in the day when you did what you said
help you walk w/yr head held high and paint yr lipstick red
paint yr lipstick red, baby, paint yr lipstick red
help you walk w/yr head held high and paint yr lipstick red
has it been too long since you felt something so strong
that there was no right and there was no wrong
when did you stop dancing to life's sweet song and just went along instead?
let me help you walk w/yr head held high and paint yr lipstick red
paint yr lipstick red, baby, paint yr lipstick red
help you walk w/yr head held high and paint yr lipstick red
i was raised by the light of the television, baby, had the fiction crammed down my throat
but when something this real comes and sits me right down, i don't even get a vote
it's my immaculate suggestion that we put all of this to bed
help you walk w/yr head held high and paint yr lipstick red
paint yr lipstick red, baby, paint yr lipstick red
help you walk w/yr head held high and paint yr lipstick red
has it been too long..........

(from the CD "Boy Genius Alert")
