Lyrics
Red Sky Morning
With nobody waking and the streets on fire
I’ll raise up my head behind the miles and miles of wire
as the hound dogs are howling their morning song
red sky morning’s gonna find me gone
I’ll be abandoned like the warehouse I am
where people come and deliver whatever they can
and tear at your insides like it was their own
red sky morning’s gonna find itself alone
The beggars point to businessmen, the businessmen point to thieves
and they all call for the cops who come and point to the priests
and the priests point to the flames and say “he’s coming your way
red sky morning gonna make you pay.”
With traces of cosmic discussions still warm
they’ll tear out your memory and put in a storm
and when lightning comes flashing every corner of your mind
red sky morning’s gonna drive you blind
With the wild wolves a-sleeping and the jokers in dreams
on the trail of tarantulas I’ll follow the streams
and I’ll trade down my life like a werewolf at dawn
red sky morning’s gonna find me gone
