Lyrics
A gun, pointed to my head
A bang, and then a piece of lead
All my hopes were shattered
Upon the wall in red
A girl, yes is what she said to a boy,
Now hope has filled his head
Look at them together, silhouettes
On the wall in red
A ring, promises were said
Two hands, form a heart and now they’re wed
Spray paint with an arrow runnin’ through it
That's On the wall in red
Look on my wall, I made a pretty red valentine
Right from the start, I could tell she would blow my mind
Sheer Bliss, I think I’m gonna burst
With each kiss there's more mystery than the first
What could possibly go wrong
upon the wall in red?
On her phone, I saw a number there
and I when pressed it, her lover answered, “hello dear”
I thought at that moment I would lose my head
Upon the wall in red
Look on my wall, I made a pretty red valentine
Right from the start, I could tell you it would blow my mind
A gun, pointed to my head
A bang, and then a piece of lead
All my hopes were scattered,
All my dreams are shattered,
All my brains were splattered,
Upon the wall in red
