I need a fix in those heroin eyes

(zu meine oma)
When your only friends are hotel rooms
hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around I would tonight
These roads never seemed so long
Since your paper heart stopped beating
leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?
Who's going to call on Sunday morning?
Who's going to drive you home?
I just want one more chance
to put my arms in fragile hands
I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes
bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends
August evenings bring solemn warnings
to remember to kiss
the ones you love goodnight
You never know what temporal days may bring
So laugh, love, live free and sing
When life is in discord, "Praise ye the Lord"

That's called 'Paperthin hymn' by Anberlin. Here is an explanation of why fire trucks are red.
There are 4 wheels and 8 men on a fire truck.
4+8=12
There are 12 inches in a ruler.
Queen Elizabeth is a ruler.
The Queen Elizabeth was a ship.
Ships sail on the sea.
The sea has fish.
Fish have fins.
The Finns are always fighting the Russians.
The Russians are known as 'red'.
Fire trucks are always rushin', and that's why they're red.
