Lyrics
======
Story starts,
Quiet town.
Small time boy,
big time frown.
Never talks, never plays.
Different path, lost his way.
Then streets of red,
red i'm afraid.
There's no confetti,
no parade.
Nothing happens in this boring place,
but, oh my god, how it all did change.
Now they all pray,
blood stain wash away.
Chorus
------
He said, "Lost my way,
this bloody day, lost my way"
I heard him.
He said, "Lost my way,
this bloody day, lost my way"
All things wash away,
but blood stains the sun red today.
I always said,
"Something wrong
with little, strange
Ronnie Long"
Never laughed, never smiled.
Talked alone for miles and miles and miles.
Gallow calls,
"Son," I say,
"Keep your smile
and laugh all day.
Think once again in this boring place,
for little boys, how they soon change.
Now they all pray,
blood stain wash away.
Chorus
------
He said, "Lost my way,
this bloody day, lost my way"
I heard him.
He said, "Lost my way,
this bloody day, lost my way"
All things wash away,
but blood stains the sun red today.
Yeah, well all the green this died
when Ronnie moved to this place.
He said, "Don't you dare ask
why I'm cursed to wear this face."
Well, now we all know why
the children called him "Ronnie Frown".
When he pulled that gun from his pocket,
and they all fall down, down, down.
Chorus
------
He said, "Lost my way,
this bloody day, lost my way"
Yeah, yeah, I heard him.
He screamed, "Lost my way,
this bloody day, lost my way"
All things wash away,
but blood stains the sun red today.
That's right.
All things wash away.
And they all fall down, down.
But blood stained the sun today.
Yeah, yeah.
All things wash away.
And they all fall down.
But blood stained the sun today.
