It Was Red Water

Lyrics

When I was twelve, while checking the mail I was admirin' the car of the girl next door And thinkin' to myself, man, one of these days I'm gonna have me a house like that, with a big red door And her yard was mowed, and her grass was green And the driveway was edged and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly I had a crush on her wife and I played ball with her son I pondered how much money she made, went inside and turned the TV on And she was layin' In an overflowing bathtub of red water The first and the last time she ever relaxed And they said She had a smile on her face, her final offer The steam on the mirror said, I got one more thing to say I was watchin' TV, havin' one of mum's famous rice crispy treats Watching Tom & Jerry, I heard a car, horn beeped I ran to the window, her wife and son were home With bags of stuff they had got at the mall I went in my room and got my glove and ball I leapt up the steps and asked her son could he play And her son looked at her wife and her wife told her son I guess it'll be ok That beautiful woman, she walked in that beautiful house When I realised I forgot my hat I said I'll be right back and turned around And she was layin' In an overflowing bathtub of red water The first and the last time she ever relaxed And they said She had a smile on her face, her final offer The steam on the mirror said, I got one more thing to say There was screaming, there was crying There were sirens, I thought I was dreamin' And the sun was shining, it was a beautiful day Her wife was talking to an officer, through the noise I heard her say And she was layin' In an overflowing bathtub of red water The first and the last time she ever relaxed And they said She had a smile on her face, her final offer The steam on the mirror said I got one more thing to say And she was layin' In an overflowing bathtub of red water The first and the last time she ever relaxed And they said She had a smile on her face, her final offer The steam on the mirror said And she was layin' In an overflowing bathtub of red water The first and the last time she ever relaxed And they said She had a smile on her face, her final offer The steam on the mirror said, I got one more thing to say
