Текст песни
He had a knife in his pocket and a cross on his neck
Said he loved me like Jesus loves the broken and the wrecked
We drove through California with the radio low
Singing songs about dying young, putting on a show
I wore his leather jacket, tasted blood on his lips
He held the wheel with one hand, touched my hip
Said, "Baby, if we go down, we go down in flames"
And I believed him — that was my shame
Oh, dangerous love in a cherry red dress
Dancing with the devil in a holy mess
He had Hollywood eyes and a violent kiss
And I gave him everything — what did I miss?
What did I miss?
He took me to the motel where his father died
Said, "This is where angels come to hide"
We drank whiskey from the bottle, smoked until dawn
Wrote our names in blood on the lawn
The neighbors called the police, but we were already gone
Running from the world, singing our sad song
He looked at me and whispered, "This is fate"
And I followed him straight through the gate
Oh, dangerous love in a cherry red dress
Dancing with the devil in a holy mess
He had Hollywood eyes and a violent kiss
And I gave him everything — what did I miss?
What did I miss?
And now I'm standing in the rain outside the courthouse
Watching them take him away in handcuffs
He blows me a kiss through the glass
And I still want him — God, I still want him so bad
Cause it was dangerous love in a cherry red dress
The kind they write movies about, I guess
He had America in his veins and death in his kiss
And I'd still give him everything
Even after all of this
Even after all of this
Cherry red
Cherry red
He said he loved me
Was it all in my head?
