Three people are walking towards you
They are all dressed in red
One is covered in blood
One is covered in tomato soup
One is covered in their own heart

You cannot tell which is which
Or who will reach you first to collapse
Or who wears their red best
-
But you realise
They all look pretty good in it

You'd sleep with any, all of them
If they asked
Maybe only so you can ask
Which of the slippery red is which

And then you will be painted
In soup or
In blood or
In heart

Maybe then you'll find what tastes better
Maybe then you'll find
Which red suits you best

And this is the question you want answered
-
Which red suits you best?
