Red A

Red is the color of blood, rubies and strawberries. Next to orange at the end of the visible spectrum of light, red is commonly associated with danger, sacrifice, passion, fire, beauty, blood, anger, national socialism, socialism, communism, and in China and many other cultures, with happiness.

The word red comes from the Old English rēd. The word can be further traced to the Proto-Germanic rauthaz and the Proto-Indo European root reudh-. In Sanskrit, the word rudhira means red or blood. In the Akkadian language of Ancient Mesopotamia and in the modern Inuit language of Eskimos, the word for red is the same word as "like blood".

The words for 'colored' in Latin (coloratus) and Spanish (colorado) both also mean 'red.' whereas in Portuguese the word for red is vermelho, which comes from Latin "vermiculus", meaning "little worm".

In the Russian language, the word for red, Кра́сный (krasniy), comes from the same old Slavic root as the words for "beautiful"—красивый (krasiviy) and "excellent"—прекрасный (prekrasniy). Thus Red Square in Moscow, named long before the Russian Revolution, meant simply "Beautiful Square". [ source ]

Word in a matchbox

I stare into the space that I'll become

I divide into three, me into you, you into me

We're into one!

I stare into the space that I'll become 

I divide into three, me into you, you into me

We're into one!

We're some word in a matchbox

Now we're bulletproof

I stand as dirt and dust under the gun, 

under the sun, under the sun, under the sun

Read them cards out.. 

Better days to come!

We're some word in a matchbox

We're some word in a matchbox

Now we're bulletproof

Going hard in the distance

Going hard to...

reflected in the looks of the...

..dream is a nightmare, you know that

Now we're bulletproof,
bulletproof

In every dream home a heartache

In every dream home a heartache

And every step I take

Takes me further from heaven

Is there a heaven'

I`d like to think so

Standards of living

They're rising daily

But home oh sweet home

It's only a saying

From bell push to faucet

In smart town apartment

The cottage is pretty

The main house a palace

Penthouse perfection

But what goes on

What to do there

Better pray there

Open plan living

Bungalow ranch style

All of its comforts

Seem so essential

I bought you mail order

My plain wrapper baby

Your skin is like vinyl

The perfect companion

You float my new pool

De luxe and delightful

Inflatable doll

My role is to serve you

Disposable darling

Can't throw you away now

Immortal and life size

My breath is inside you

I'll dress you up daily

And keep you till death sighs

Inflatable doll

Lover ungrateful

I blew up your body

But you blew my mind

Oh Those Heartaches

Dreamhome Heartaches

Circles

I run around in circles, and I

Find the circles that

Transformate into cones

The circle's getting smaller, cause I

Make the point of it

Tracing circles back home

To see a circle shrink, you'll have a

Phase of pushing out poison

Phasing out the form

I run around in circles, cause I

Know that circles do

Transformate into cones

No, I won't leave me, I won't leave me here this way

Circles are easy, they're easily betrayed

Circles like love songs, they're easily drawn wrong

No, I won't leave me, I won't leave me here this way

I run around in circles, and I

Find the circles that

Transformate into cones

The circle's getting smaller, cause I

Make the point of it

Tracing circles back home

To see a circle shrink, you'll have a

Phase of pushing out poison

Phasing out the form

I run around in circles, cause I

Know that circles do

Transformate into cones

Whispering

Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering

As I pass myself down to my knees

Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering

As I fall through the willow trees, and I said

Who will care for the fallen?

Who will care for the falling.. leaves?

Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering

As I fall through the willow trees, and I said

Who will care for the fallen?

Who will care for the fallen?

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands,

Tender, cool breeze, keeps me where I am

Suddenly here, when I want to scream

Autumn calms me down, keeps me in my dreams

Then I went whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering

As I pass myself down to my knees

Whispering, whispering, those dew drops are glistening

As I fall through the willow trees, and I said

Who will care for the fallen?

Who would care for the fallen?

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands

Tender, cool breeze keeps me where I am

Suddenly here, when I want to scream

Autumn calms me down, leaves me in her dreams

Keep on falling down, they keep on falling down

Keep on falling down, keep on falling down

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands

Tender, cool breeze, keeps me where I am

Suddenly here, when I want to scream

Autumn calms me down, leaves me in my dreams

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands

Tender, cool breeze, keeps me where I am

Suddenly hearing, when I want to scream

Oh, please just cut me down, leave me in my dreams

The wild ones

There's a song playing on the radio

Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show

And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays

And as I open the blinds in my mind I'm believing that you could stay

And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fields away

We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun

Oh if you stay

We'll be the wild ones, running with the dogs today

There's a song playing through another wall

All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve

And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day

Cos on you my tattoo will be bleeding and the name will stain

But oh if you stay we'll ride from disguised suburban graves

We'll go from the bungalows where the debts still grow every day

And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fears away

We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun oh if you stay

We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today

We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
