Red & Black Lyrics

Blood and whisky spread over the canvas
Frida Kahlo can't deny the justice
Your paper work has got me throwing ice cubes
Sink your teeth to Polaroid distraction !

Got a feeling you have got a cigerratte'a
Found some cocaine - offer you a cigeratte-a
Mouth-to-mouth, I know you got a ciggeratte'a !
Bloody mary's drowning in a yuppie culture...

Take off your shades !
Take off your shades !
Take off your shades !
Take off your shades !

Stripping down the cable stems of the monster squad (squad!)

Fight the feeling, so write about it
County christos got us nicknamed for failure
Fuck the meaning, so write about it

No shadow !
No shadow !
No shadow !
No shadow !

Red and black, I splash it on the canvas baby !
Red and black, I'm carving like an eighties saviour !
Red and black, I splash it on the canvas baby !

Srip the wire...
Cable stems of...
The monster squad...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I asked Tim what the "Your paper work has got me throwing ice cubes" bit was about and he responded:

"Think it was when we signed our first record deal... I started throwing ice cubes at Al [KK manager] cos I was drunk... And angry.... Some things never change! Ha!"

But yeah, the song's about cocaine and vampires and some insane murder fantasy. I think. & ghostbusters.
