River Westin

Maraschino

River Westin


At the casino where I first saw you
I was laying by the poolside
Dripping wet and you walked right to me
Yellow glasses covering your eyes
And you said
How you doin’ boy?

This heat is killer
Let’s go inside
Then lemme show you ‘round
I know places you could never find
In the desert night, slip a maraschino
From your lips to mine

I’m seeing red
I’m seeing red
And it’s so sweet
We’re like honeybees
The way we live
Its poetry
Cause I’m seeing red
Darling there’s no going back

Fresh out the shower
Watch you getting ready
Shirt undone like its the seventies
Flash that million dollar smile
I go weak
You don’t know what you’re doing to me
And you said

Baby I love the way you stare
And I said
Baby you’re the one I swear
In the Vegas lights, slip a maraschino
From your lips to mine

I’m seeing red
I’m seeing red
And it’s so sweet
We’re like honeybees
The way we live
Its poetry
Cause I’m seeing red
Darling there’s no going back

I’m seeing red
Here on this motel bed
Darling there’s no going back
I’m seeing red
Come on and raise your bet
Darling there’s no going back

I’m seeing red
Here on this motel bed
Darling there’s no going back
I’m seeing red
Hit me with all your best
Darling there’s no going back
