Song information
Artist: Elvis Costello

Lyrics
You've been taught that this won't do
They put me in the picture but the film turned blue
A glimpse of you, turning the town red
A head full of brand new words and a mouth full of shocks
You're a big boy now, with a face to stop clocks
Turning the town red. (x2)
You made your bed, and now you better dream in it
The word that you once whispered, now you're screamin' it
Days drip down like bad wallpaper
Pictures plastered on the ivy creeper between your old toy soldiers
And your mother's sleepers
Turning the town red. (x2)
You made your bed, you better face the consequence
A black pool opened at my feet into a dream sequence
Turning the town red. aah. (x4)
You know I heard her call my name
Least, I think that's what she said
Surely I'm the correlation that's gonna cause her shame
So, what's she doing in my bed?
Turning the town red. aah
(Repeat.)
