Vermillion red
She woke up in his bed
And tried to make sense of it all
And as she dressed
She turned a deaf ear to the silence
That echoed off the wall
It wasn't much to write home about
But now she's turning the page
With a knife in her heart
She laughs all the way to the bank
Every day she stops
And lifts her professional rank
She wants it, she taunts it
She'll stop at nothing to get it
She'll paint a cross upon your head
In vermillion red
This red balloon can't float forever
And one day it came crashing out the sky
With nothing left and pieces of her everywhere
The news reaches millions of eyes
Now there's so much to write home about
But she's still turning the page
With an ace in the hole
She cries all the way to the bank
There's a long long list
With so many people to thank
She wants it, she taunts it
She'll stop at nothing to get it
She'll paint a cross upon your head
In vermillion red
In vermillion red
She wants it, she taunts it
She'll stop at nothing to get it
She'll paint a cross upon your head
In vermillion red
In vermillion red
