Red light to darkness, why do you look so blue?
When they're all adoring,
all adoring you
Your saddened eyes so sinful,
so sad and lonely too
Glowing like a candle,
a muslin tattoo
Love is falling around you like the autumn leaves
A hard-hearted hero,
laughing at the grief
Many have fallen,
where many you deceive
Bathing in your aura,
wanting to believe
The bones are drawn to the flame
And as they are consumed,
you learn
Not to go near the flame
You'll burn,
you'll burn,
you'll burn
Lovely men and ladies,
all become your toys For one fleeting moment,
they taste your youth and joy
Red light to darkness,
each night they buy your love
They only see an angel sent from heaven
above The bones are drawn to the flame
And as they are consumed,
you learn Not to go near the flame
You'll burn,
you'll burn,
you'll burn
And as your light shines brightly,
one day it will expire
No more fragile hearts
consume within your fire Only the mirror will reveal
as you
are Burned out and lonely,
a faded star
Red light to darkness,
why do you look so blue?
Are all those adoring now ignoring you?
No more friends or lovers,
only cruel truth Nothing dies so quickly as the flame of youth
The bones are drawn to the flame
And as they are consumed,
you learn
Not to go near the flame
You'll burn, you'll burn, you'll burn
