[Intro]
If you have the thought, "Are these guys having fun?"
Yes, we are having so much fun
Uh, we've been so fortunate to be able to do this, it's a weird time in the world
Our bus broke down, our backup bus broke down
We've done the whole tour in a Sprinter van and an airplane, so
We're very tired, we're very happy
This song, it's called "Good in Red"
Well, this song happens to be about trauma
This might not be your song, but if this is your song
You can sing it as loud as you want, okay?
[Verse 1]
Called a curse in the cradle
Loving mother, unstable
Daddy gone, under the table
But you found a song in your heart
And you learn how to fight
How to starve, how to survive
When the others blocked your light
You learned to see beyond the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
And this curse of small desires
Too easily acquired
Now it's time to set your gasoline heart on fire
[Chorus]
Kill your demons, kill 'em dead
In your mirror, in your bed
In your heart, in your head
Don't you look good in red
Slay your devils, kill 'em all
Take your throne, paint the walls
And if you make it out alive
Hold that bloody head up high
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you look good in red
Don't you look good in red
[Verse 2]
Is there more beyond those plains?
You cut your hair and you changed your name
Left a note as you escaped
To thine own self be true
But there was no gold in those hills
No platinum in those pretty pills
Just werewolves tossin' dollar bills
And the wine-dark sea of Malibu
[Pre-Chorus]
And this curse of small desires
Too easily acquired
Now it's time to set your gasoline heart on fire
[Chorus]
Kill your demons, kill 'em dead
In your mirror, in your bed
In your heart, in your head
Don't you look good in red?
Slay your devils, kill 'em all
Take your throne, paint the walls
And if you make it out alive
Hold that bloody head up high
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you look good in red
Don't you look good in red
[Bridge]
'Cause no one's comin' to save you
No one's comin' to save you
You swing that sword that you made
With the pain that they gave you
Like the pain is gonna save you
Like the pain is gonna save you
The pain is gonna save you
[Chorus]
Kill your demons, kill 'em dead
In your mirror, in your bed
In your heart, in your head
Don't you look good in red?
Slay your devils, kill 'em all
Take your throne, paint the walls
And if you make it out alive
You hold that bloody head up high
[Outro]
Don't you look good in red
Don't you look good in red
Don't you look good in red
Don't you look good in red
