One red drop of California wine On a white tablecloth across from you Slipping your hand under mine Your voice was low and soft but the words were clear And clean as starched white sheets, another drop Red on white in a blurry light Drink this blood of my veins You don't understand, I'd cut off my hands If they offend thee I can't see why we can't see eye to eye And it makes me want to die We're not united But we'll stand for each other When the whole world let us down No red, white, and blue No more underground Standing up for you Forever for you, forever for you Now I'm falling into your eyes They're two glittering stones in sidewalk snow And about a thousand miles deep It seems I can't keep my mind on what you just said Staring straight ahead, so help me god Though your lips didn't move, you told nothing but the truth And I want to be like you Crawl into your skin, feel your clothes from the inside But then you'll think that I'm a freak You'll push back your chair and say I'm going out for air And then you'll just leave and I don't want you to leave We're not united But we'll stand for each other When the whole world let us down No red, white, and blue No more underground Standing up for you Forever for you, forever for you Forever for you
