I'm going to where the sun burns 

And the heat stays in command

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay right here


To where the river turns to dust 

and God is never rushed

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay here

Red I need you and the world


Ah the buzzing, the stink, and the smell

Ah they're choking me

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay right here


You'll be dressed in a cloud

I'll be singing out my tune real loud

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay right here

Red I love you and the world


Yes it seemed to make sense when 

Brother Santo said one more run be enough

Gonna be enough, be enough

Money for everything, silver-toed boots and gasoline

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay right here

Red I worry about you and the world


When I see you behind the glass

I forget that I'm in the cage

They bring me to Sunday mass

But it never wipes the rage

Red I love you and the world


Seven months gone and seven years to go

Red I can't stay no more

Come and lay by my side

Come and lay here

Red I need you in the world

Red I love you and the world
