Paint The Town Red Lyrics

Cover art for Paint The Town Red lyrics by Ima Robot

It sounds almost like a psychopath kind of guy who goes on a killing spree because of a girl who... dumped him, maybe? Girls would give him love and then dump him and he'd kill them, their blood "painting the town red." He feels that they've betrayed him and wants revenge ("Vengence in my heart").

It could also be that he feels almost that if anyone gives him love, he should kill them before he love them, too... But the "eighteenth girl in the world who ever gave you love" makes me iffy on that one. xD

Favourite line: "My revenge is a dish best served right fucking now!"
