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
