[Chorus]
Cherry takes me to the place above
With barbed wire kisses and her love
We're going where the oceans blue
Kick the dust and you can come too

[Chorus]
Cherry's scratching like a grain of sand
The trigger itch in the killer's hand
Me and Cherry are so extreme

[Verse 3]

Come on and push me down
Come on and drag me down
Oh, Cherry be bad
Come on and kiss my head
