Ronnie - Metallica

Story starts, quiet town

Small town boy, big time frown

Never talks, never plays

Different path, lost his way

Then streets of red, red, I’m afraid

There’s no confetti, no parade

Nothing happens in this boring place

But, oh my God, how it all did change

Now, they all pray

«Bloodstain, wash away»

He said

«Lost my way

This bloody day

Lost my way»

I heard it

He said

«Lost my way

This bloody day

Lost my way»

Oh, please wash away

But blood stained the sun red today

I always said something’s wrong

With little, strange Ronnie Long

Never laughed, never smiled

Talked alone for miles and miles and miles

«Gallows calls, son,» I say

Keep your smile and laugh all day

Think once again in this boring place

For little boys, how they soon change

And they all pray

«Bloodstain, wash away»

He said

«I lost my way

This bloody day

Lost my way»

I heard it

He said

«I lost my way

This bloody day

I lost my way»

Oh, please wash away

But blood stained the sun red today

Yeah

Yeah, well all the green things died

When Ronnie moved to this place

He said, don’t you dare ask

Why I’m cursed to wear this face

Now we all know why

Children called him Ronnie Frown

When he pulled that gun from his pocket

And they’d all fall down, down, down

He said

«Lost my way

This bloody day

Lost my way

Yeah, yeah

I heard it

He screamed

«Lost my way

This bloody day

Lost my way»

Oh, please wash away

But blood stained the sun red today

(That's right)

All things wash away…

(And they’d all fall down)

But blood stained the sun today…

(Yeah, yeah)

All things wash away…

(And they’d all fall down)

But blood stained the sun today…
