[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Red moon risin
g like a fire
in me
So many questi
ons, she asks
them all to m
e
I have to answ
er most curiou
sly
Scarlet angel,
I am too smal
l to see
Earn earn, shu
ffle round the
big city
Burning the ru
bber down, cro
ssing the hot
concrete
I'm gonna leav
e town, there
is someone to
meet
She turns her
head around a
full three-six
ty
Woo!
x2
[Verse 2]
Bedroom rising
from an old g
rowth tree
Bring out the
sawmill, cutti
ng the twelve-
inch beams
Building a pat
tern, a reserv
oir to fill wi
th dreams
Rings like Sat
urn telling th
eir old storie
s
Windmill turn
and turn etern
ally
What do you ye
arn for? Where
do you long t
o be?
I've been here
before, looki
ng at the wild
country
Opening the sc
reen door, tal
king with Dian
e Lee
That's my grandma!
x2
[Verse 3]
Radio singing
from the corne
r of the kitch
en
I got the oven
on, I got the
onions wishin
g
They hadn't ma
de me cry, fil
ling the sink
with dishes
Letting them a
ir dry, waitin
g for the wind
's permission
Too many movie
s got me shive
ring and shy
Turning the li
ghts out, glis
tening in the
owl's eye
Glimmer like l
ightning under
the violet sk
y
Shimmer like d
iamonds, watch
ing the red mo
on rise
Ooo
