“Red Flag Diver” sees Aimee Mann telling someone to dive for her, even despite the red flags she puts out. It concludes similar themes of bad love and unreciprocated relationships explored earlier in the album in tracks such as “Labrador”, “Disappeared”, “Gumby”, and “Gamma Ray”.
[Verse 1]
Red flag diver
Jump to me
Red flag diver
Jump to me
I’m just floating here
In a big red sea
Red flag diver, dive in
[Verse 2]
Red flag diver
Swim to me
Red flag diver
Swim to me
You’ll be miserable
But I’ll be free
Red flag diver, dive in
[Chorus]
'Cause first I’ll want it
And then I won’t want it
And then I’ll just scuttle it all
On rocks where sirens call
You can blame my daddy
The playboy caddy
Who never kept his eye on the ball
The whitecaps rise and fall
[Verse 3]
Red flag diver
Dive for me
Red flag diver
Dive for me
I’m as good for you
As I can be
Red flag diver, dive in
[Chorus]
'Cause first I’ll want it
And then I won’t want it
And then I’ll just scuttle it all
On rocks where sirens call
You can blame my daddy
The playboy caddy
Who never kept his eye on the ball
The whitecaps rise and fall
The whitecaps rise and fall
