[Intro]
Ronnie, lead vocal comp number one
[Verse 1]
Story starts, quiet town
Small town 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, they all pray
"Bloodstain, 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 stained the sun red today
[Verse 2]
I always said somethin' wrong
With little, strange Ronnie Long
Never laughed, never smiled
Talked alone for miles and milеs and miles
"Gallows calls, son," I say
Keep your smile and laugh all day
Think once again in this boring placе
For little boys, how they soon change
[Pre-Chorus]
Now they all pray
"Bloodstain, wash away"
[Chorus]
He said, "Lost my way"
This bloody day
"Lost my way"
Yeah, I heard him
He said, "Lost my way"
This bloody day
"Lost my way"
All things wash away
But blood stained the sun red today, yeah
[Bridge]
Yeah, well, all the green things 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 stained the sun red today
[Outro]
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, yeah, mm
