Run Mascara Run - The Raveonettes

Blood runs like your makeup

In this slow-motion dream

Your blue jeans are torn

And there’s blood on the leaves

Seen you in my dreams

Of love and falling bombs

Young roses lie dead

When the napalm smell is gone

I’m sleepwalking through cities of fire

Bikini atoll, napalm honey

Never burned so bright

Exploding Roman candles tonight

Those tears remind me of nuclear rain

When the fireflies went to their grave

There’s blood on this sad girl’s white t-shirt

Coming home from war was never fun

I’m sleepwalking through cities of surf

Waves exploding on shore, no fair game

Fifteen tanned boys weeping in the sand

Pacific hell and bloodstained oceans

My sweetheart I never saw again

She went missing, she never came back

Bombs fell on palm trees and hot rod cars

Radios silenced by grieving boys

The palm trees burning down

And your kisses are wild

You smile at orange skies

And I wake up on the west side
