Red Lenses

It's the color of your heartbeat
A rising summer sun
The battle lost or won
The flash to fashion
And the pulse to passion

We've got mars on the horizon
Says the national midnight star

What you believe is what you are
A pair of dancing shoes
The soviets are the blues

And the mercury is rising
Barometer starts to fall
You know it gets to us all
The pain that is learning
And the rain that is burning
