Colour me in red
Fight the ghost under your bed
Hold the lightning in your hands
Oh it won't burn much longer now

With the silent stare
A sudden night love affair
Captivating and suffocating
I'll turn this dream into a nightmare

Grey clouds, been a long time waiting for you
Maybe I can see the rain again
Don't be afraid of the city lights following you
Gotta cover your eyes with cellophane

You made your bed, now you gotta sleep in it
You said, I'm dead, you're nothing but a hypocrite
Don't get ahead, I'm not ready to commit
Bad under pressure and I don't think that I'll make it

Colour me in red
Fight the ghost under your bed
Hold the lightning in your hands
Oh it won't burn much longer now

With a silent stare
A sudden night love affair
Captivating and suffocating
I'll turn this dream into a nightmare

Sit tight, It's been a long night making it but
Wonder if I'll see your face again
I gotta say that I'm seeing double, fading to black
Don't worry baby just tell me where and when

You made your bed, don't wanna wake up in it
You said, I'm dead, I'm a sucker for this shit
Don't get ahead, I'm not ready for the kick
Bad under pressure so I don't think that I'll make it

You made your bed, now you gotta sleep in it
You said, I'm dead, you're nothing but a hypocrite

Colour me in red
Fight the ghost under your bed
Hold the lightning in your hands
Oh it won't burn much longer now

With the silent stare
A sudden night love affair
Captivating and suffocating
I'll turn this dream into a nightmare

Much too far to run away this time
I don't think we'll make it out of here
Jump the gun and separate the lines
I don't think we'll make it out of here

Colour me in red
Fight the ghost under your bed
Hold the lightning in your hands
Oh it won't burn much longer now

With the silent stare
A sudden night love affair
Captivating and suffocating
I'll turn this dream into a nightmare
