Red

written by Thomas Gorman & Tanya Donelly

.


Red, you look tired
You look older than your mother
Where should I not touch?
What should I not kiss?
Where does it hurt?

Red, in you slumber
You look younger, so much stronger
Honey on your breath
Heaven in your head
Where does it hurt?

redredred oh

So long in this house
It's a big one full of scarecrows, even now
So you look ahead to the edge of a
Big metal sun over sunset
Overheated (over)
Welcome home, our only son

redredred oh
redredred oh
redredred oh

Mm mm c-come open
Mouth like Venus
Mm mm c-come over (a)
Mountain like Vesuvius

Send a rocket for Red, and he goes coo-coo
Mm mm c-come open
Mouth like Venus
Mm mm c-come over (the)
Mountain like Vesuvius

Send a rocket for Red, and he goes coo-coo
Send a rocket for Red, and he goes coo-coo
(Send a rocket to Red)
(Send a rocket to Red)
