The Search for Cherry Red (Jonathan Fire Eater cover) Lyrics
In every car that passes me on the street
I search for the particular face
The lipstick trembles under boomlights
The lipstick my own brothers only trace
Was the birthday birthday ashtray
Carried all along this way now
It was a gift from my little sister
On the very same day they took her away
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside
In Hollywood I got the phone call
That made my heart and my limosine stall
Falling down in the hotel hall again
Little drunk from the Warners' Christmas ball
Cut by love and cut by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade
Cut by love and cut by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade
I still remember my brother
I see his face on the billboards
and the polaroids that stayed on my pillow 'til they faded
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside
I search for the particular face
The lipstick trembles under boomlights
The lipstick my own brothers only trace
Carried all along this way now
It was a gift from my little sister
On the very same day they took her away
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside
That made my heart and my limosine stall
Falling down in the hotel hall again
Little drunk from the Warners' Christmas ball
Cut by love and cut by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade
Cut by love and cut by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade
I see his face on the billboards
and the polaroids that stayed on my pillow 'til they faded
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside

I would like to know what this song is about. It's a really good song though. I love their early stuff.
HEY!
this aint a original Kills song. Its a Jonathan Fire*Eater original. which is a better version, but it is kinda bold of them to try and cover one of the most underrated band ever. i reckon.
also i think the brother is kinda key to the song. he searches for him, dreams of him i think..
i wrote a short piece about the original jonathan fire*eater song that the kills cover - it's up at http://www.scribd.com/doc/46440938/The-Search-for-Cherry-Red - check it out if you get the chance
