Lyrics
Red Cushions
The red cushions on the bar stools mocked him
As he stood in their line
Her love had proved a fatal toxin
Now he drinks himself blind
The blue neon lights around him hound him
With their cold lurid glow
The pallor that surrounds him
Won't let him go
She's gone, he's lost
She's gone, he's lost
The "hello darlin''' waitress offers her best sin
There was a time he wanted her so
She taunts him with a now stagnant grin
He tells her thanks, no
The smell of stale beer that finds him reminds him
That this fate is his own
His past mistakes have confined him
To this new prison home
She's lost, he's gone
She's lost, he's gone
He hears the laughter from the next room too soon
He is one lost love away
The silence of a self-pity gloom
Has moved in to stay
She's gone, he's lost
She's gone, he's lost
She's lost, he's gone
She's lost, he's gone
