lyrics

You are a creature of the night. You’re a wounded soldier who has lost his fight. You are the student who learned too late and I think of you when I tempt my fate. Crimson and clover and over and over and under and over and through. Crimson and clover, red river, red rover the river that runs over you. But I got a second skin. One day, I will peel this off and when you see me I’ll look new again. Got a second wind. One day I will shed this off and then you’ll see I’ve got a second skin. The white cliffs of Dover, the green fields of clover, we’ll finally make it one day. So bring her on over. We’ll drive on the shoulder and then we can motor away. We’ll drive to a lake when we’re tired of faking and then we can go for a swim. And you’ll say you won’t make it I’ll tell you you’ll take it and if you can’t I’ll pull you in. ‘Cuz I got a second skin. One day I will peel this off and when you see me I’ll look new again. Got a second wind. One day I will peel this off and then you’ll see I’ve got a second skin. But you are the monkey on my back. Throw you over my shoulder like a hobo’s sack ‘cuz they build you up like a teenage dream, an invincible star of stage and screen. With god as my witness, I’ll never admit this ‘til I’ve had a cocktail or three but rejecting the turmoil for quiet and normal is not so appealing to me. Crimson and clover and over and over and under and over and through. Crimson and clover, red river, red rover. The flowers now grow over you.
