music and lyrics by Lindsey Buckingham



Why do you come around?

So very much

You know it just brings you down 

It's just something you can touch



You don't belong here 

I guess you never did 

Whisper "murder" in your ear 

You just keep it so well hid



Anyone at all 

Could see what was missin' 

Could see you were dyin'

Though no one was cryin'



And the lips you were kissing

Night after night

All were bathed in blue

All were bathed in white



Red Rover, Red Rover, Red Rover

We come, we come, we come, we come

To take you over

Take you over

Red rover

Take you over



One of the quiet ones

One of the few

Now fall down onto your knees

Show us all what you can do



We came around here

To see if you were well

And there's nothing for you to fear

In Heaven or in Hell



Anyone at all 

Could see what was missin' 

Could see you were dyin' 

Though no one was cryin'



And the lips you were kissing

Night after night

All were bathed in blue

All were bathed in white



Red Rover, Red Rover, Red Rover 

We come, we come, we come, we come 

To take you over 

Take you over

Red rover

Take you over

Red rover

Take you over

Red rover

Take you over
