I know I'll feel better in time
                  You should have told me a lie
                 I'll tell you why, I don't know
                 What was going through my head

              Now things have cleared, I'm not dead
                  Now that I've settled in bed
                  You should have told me a lie
                 I'll tell you why, I don't know
                 What was going through my head

                 What if I walked off the line?
                  And what if I never revived?
                  You should have told me a lie
                 I'll tell you why, I don't know
                 What was going through my head
                You know, it should have been red
                You know, I should have been led

                Down in, deep inside, I am safer
                   Now and then I want to fly
                 Away from everything, on my own
                   On my way through the night

             I wake up, I don't know where I've been
                 And then I'll start over again
                  You should have told me a lie
                 I'll tell you why, I don't know
                 What was going through my head
                You know, it should have been red
                You know, I should have been led
                You know, I could have been dead
