Ronnnie
Stories taught--quiet town
small time boy, big time crowd
never talks, never plays
different path, lost his way
these streets are red
red, i'm afraid
there's no confetti, no parade
nothing happens in this boring place
but, oh my god, how it all did change
now they all pray--
blood stain wash away
he said "lost my way
this bloody day
lost my way"
i heard it
he said "lost my way
this bloody day
lost my way"
oh please wash away
but blood stained the sun red today
i always said something wrong
with little strange ronnie long
never laughs, never smiles
talked alone for miles and miles and miles
yellow comes "son" i say
"keep your smile and laugh all day"
he falls again in this boring place
for little boys how they do change
now they all pray--
blood stain wash away
he said "lost my way
this bloody day
lost my way"
i heard it
he said "lost my way
this bloody day
lost my way"
oh please wash away
but blood stained the sun red today
(spoken)
yeah, well all the green things died
when ronnie moved to this place
he said "don't you dare ask
why i'm cursed to wear this face"
now we all know why
the children called him "ronnie frown"
when he pulled that gun from his pocket
they all fall down down down
he said "lost my way
this bloody day
lost my way"
i heard it
he screamed "lost my way
this bloody day
lost my way"
oh please wash away
but blood stained the sun red today
all things wash away
they all fall down
but blood stained the sun today
all things wash away
they all fall down
but blood stained the sun today
