Red Number One Songtext
von Hellsingland Underground

I bought markers for my last savings
Put every single one of them on red one

And I won

Walked across the street into a bar
And shouted "All drinks on me"
Became everybody′s favourite there
For a minute or maybe three

As I stumbled back out I fell in the stairs
Into the arms of the prettiest face
And I thought she would scream but she started to laugh
I said "hey, let's go get some sprays
And paint this whole town, you and I
′Till the forces align, what do you say?"
She said "You're crazy but I like it
Because so am I"

Oh yeah


Through the dark and the breeze, the dirty streets
Walking through the city as the sun rose
Writing our names on walls and trains
Hoping inside that night would never end

She would come and go as she felt like
I was someone who couldn't say no back then
I still am

I even slept without ever locking my door
Even though I lived in that place
Where cars were burnt every night
And you could get robbed in the middle of day
Check out those little kids
Wearing black hoodies
Selling dope in the street
Smoking their beer bottles
Talking like ping pong

Come here, white boy
I don′t know why I′ve been stuck in that time for so long
Oh yeah

Through the dark and the breeze, the dirty streets
Walking through the city as the sun rose
Writing our names on walls and trains
Hoping inside that night would never end


But here is one of those times when you knew somehow
This is just as good as it will ever get now
But if I had the chance I would do it again
Risk it all on the red number one

So that's how the story goes
I′m still dreaming of a ghost
No idea what happened to you next
I don't know how you live your life
Or if you are still alive
All I know is I still recall how it felt
When you smiled
