Lyrics
[verse]
They call me the villain, they call me the wicked one
Say I broke the story before the good girl won
But I never asked to fit inside your little frame
I'd rather burn it all down than play the same old game
[chorus]
So I'll paint the town red, paint it just for me
Don't need your halo, don't need your sympathy
I'm dancing in the fire, I'm dancing on the line
Paint the town red, and baby, I feel fine
Paint it red, paint it red, watch the color spread
Paint it red, paint it red, dancing till we're dead
[verse]
Everybody's got an opinion 'bout the way I move
Everybody's got a headline that they need to prove
But the joke's on all of them, I never lost the plot
I just stopped apologizing for the fire that I've got
[chorus]
So I'll paint the town red, paint it just for me
Don't need your halo, don't need your sympathy
I'm dancing in the fire, I'm dancing on the line
Paint the town red, and baby, I feel fine
Paint it red, paint it red, watch the color spread
Paint it red, paint it red, dancing till we're dead
[bridge]
Call me the devil if it makes you feel alright
I'll be the devil dancing under the red light
This is my story and I get to choose the end
So watch the whole town burning, watch the color blend
[chorus]
So I'll paint the town red, paint it just for me
Don't need your halo, don't need your sympathy
I'm dancing in the fire, I'm dancing on the line
Paint the town red, and baby, I feel fine
Paint it red, paint it red, watch the color spread
Paint it red, paint it red, dancing till we're dead
