Red Flags Lyrics

[Verse 2: Montaigne & Tom Cardy]
She said, "Human Centipede is a tour de force"
I think, "Holy shit I'm gonna be the main course"
She said, "I admire the narrative of character growth"
I try to get the waiter's attention by blinking in morse code

[Verse 3: Montaigne & Tom Cardy]
Why are you blinking so much?
I've got something in my eye

Here, let me get it out
No thank you, I don't wanna die
Bonjour, sir was blinking at me
Is this because your date is a freak?

No
Very good then, bon appétit

[Bridge: Montaigne & Tom Cardy]
Stop hiding behind your silly made-up red flag
To not take a chance on the best relationship you never had
Maybe you're right and I'm looking for excuses
My heart's got bruises but I'm ready to choose this love

[Pre-Chorus: Montaigne & Tom Cardy]
You could be my world, the love of my life
One day we'll get married and be husband and wife
With a tasteful ceremony, and the wedding of our dreams
Only if the wedding is themed
Tell me what the theme's gonna be!
[Chorus: Montaigne & Tom Cardy]
Human Centipede
Human Centipede

That way we could save on the catering bill
Human Centipede
Only one mouth to feed
If you are the best man
You
know the deal (Pucker up)

[Post-Chorus: Montaigne & Tom Cardy]
I can finally open myself up to love
I can finally sew a mouth to a butt

[Outro: Montaigne & Tom Cardy]
Human Centipede
Human Centipede

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Well, the song is pretty self explanatory. It’s about a guy going on a date with a girl and finding out she’s overly obsessive about the horror film ‘Human centipede’ which he sees as a red flag and thinks he may get murdered on the first date. He tries to get the attention of the waiter, but she seems to catch on and tries to make him less scared of her by talking about their future, like a relationship and possibly marriage.

Only if the wedding is themed around Human centipede.
