Text: The Pierces. Thirteen Tales of Love & Revenge. Turn On Billie.
When I woke up this afternoon
I knew I felt uneasy
But no matter what I'd do
Nothing seemed to please me
I couldn't get out of my head
That little fight we had last night
Though I would much rather be dead
Than admit to myself that you were right
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't be silly, turn on Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives away
And if we wake up in full makeup
We'll paint the town blue
'Cause baby, red is so passe
Now don't look at me that way
You know I just can't take it
And no matter what they say
I know that we will make it
'Cause when we are good, we're grand
But when we're bad we are very bad
But I stick around 'cause the love
That you're giving me is the best
I've ever had, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't be silly, turn on Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives away
And if we wake up in full makeup
We'll paint the town blue
'Cause baby, red is so passe
And it's funny to me
The way that things have worked out
There's no doubt
(In my mind)
That you can't recall
What this all was about
So let's give it up
Love me sweetly and completely
Come and sit beside me
'Cause you know I need you near
When you're wheelin' with that feelin'
We'll paint the town pink
'Cause baby, red is so last year
Don't be silly, turn on Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives away
And if we wake up in full makeup
We'll paint the town blue
'Cause baby, red is so passe
I knew I felt uneasy
But no matter what I'd do
Nothing seemed to please me
I couldn't get out of my head
That little fight we had last night
Though I would much rather be dead
Than admit to myself that you were right
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't be silly, turn on Billie
She's singing us to sleep
So we can dream our lives away
And if we wake up in full makeup
We'll paint the town blue
'Cause baby, red is so passe
Now don't look at me that way
