Red Red Red

I don't understand about complementary colors

And what they say

Side by side they both get bright

Together, they both get gray

But he's been pretty much yellow

And I've been kind of blue

But all I can see is red, red, red, red, red

Now what am I gonna do?

I don't understand about diamonds

And why men buy them

What's so impressive about a diamond

Except the mining?

But it's dangerous work

Trying to get to you, too

And I think if I didn't have to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it

Maybe I wouldn't think so much of you

I've been watching all the time

And I still can't find the tack

But what I wanna know is, is it okay? Is it just fine?

Or is it my fault? Is it my lack?

I don't understand about

The weather outside

Or the harmony in a tune

Or why somebody lied

But there's solace a bit in submitting

To the fitfully, cryptically true

What's happened, has happened

What's coming is already on its way

With a role for me to play

I don't understand

I'll never understand

But I'll try to understand

There's nothing else I can do
