lyrics
The bed is cold and all the coins I stole weigh me down
And make it hard to keep afloat
Concise I'm not, my memory's shot - that's the trouble,
I forgot to mention I'm not your whore. I'm not yours.
Devil come, so all the walls turn red, and I am pinned inside this world and drowning in my bed
Clever girl
Looks like I've won
Ding dong!
Let's put this twisted night behind us
Try to get along
Chicken run, run, run
You can't stay where you are
They bred you so your wings are useless for a reason, girl
And I don't want your blood down my pinafore
Cos once it's splattered
Then you've had it and there's
Only seven hours 'til I cower
Stuck in Red's Room.
She's a button nose
You're a number not a name
No-one knows she goes
No-one knows she knows the game
Where The Gotten go
Where The Gotten go to get
Get The Gotten gone
Get The Gotten
Gone to bed
You've forgotten though
Get to bed and there it's red
And you're The Gotten now
You're The Gotten, run from Red
Red runs round the room
Down the walls and on the bed
Red runs into you
Down your eyeballs, up your legs
You're The Gotten now
You're the chicken, you're The Gone, it won't be long
It's time to run, run, run
Button run, run, run
I'm not repairable
They push your head until it's under or they make you kill
And you don't want my blood round your head at all
I'm the patterns
Lines of Saturn
And I fell through Red's room.
I'm not your...
I'm a succubus
You're a number not a name
No-one knows 'bout us
No-one knows we knows the game
Where The Gotten go
Where The Gotten go to get
Get The Gotten gone
Get The Gotten, gone to bed
You've forgotten though
Get to bed and there it's Red
And you're The Gotten now
You're The Gotten, same as Red
Red's all fallen through
And you're waiting now to land
Red runs out of you
Down the creases in your hands
You're The Gotten now
You're the chicken
You're The Gone
I can't hold on
It's time to run.
And make it hard to keep afloat
Concise I'm not, my memory's shot - that's the trouble,
I forgot to mention I'm not your whore. I'm not yours.
Devil come, so all the walls turn red, and I am pinned inside this world and drowning in my bed
Clever girl
Looks like I've won
Ding dong!
Let's put this twisted night behind us
Try to get along
Chicken run, run, run
You can't stay where you are
They bred you so your wings are useless for a reason, girl
And I don't want your blood down my pinafore
Cos once it's splattered
Then you've had it and there's
Only seven hours 'til I cower
Stuck in Red's Room.
She's a button nose
You're a number not a name
No-one knows she goes
No-one knows she knows the game
Where The Gotten go
Where The Gotten go to get
Get The Gotten gone
Get The Gotten
Gone to bed
You've forgotten though
Get to bed and there it's red
And you're The Gotten now
You're The Gotten, run from Red
Red runs round the room
Down the walls and on the bed
Red runs into you

I can't hold on
It's time to run.
