lyrics

when you want it so bad, when you want it so bad you just can't sleep
when you want it so bad, when you want it so bad you just can't sleep
well now you got what you wanted from me babe
yeah but why is there blood on your knees, babe?
do you take angels and do you make 'em red?

well I been walkin' a highway, a highway that's sick with tar and dust
I been walkin' a highway, a highway that's sick with tar and dust
I've seen beggars fallin' from trees now
well they're goin' back overseas now
and when the waves crash, well you know they're crashin' red

I'm at the last-stand asylum, I'm knockin' upon its leaden door
I'm at the last-stand asylum, I'm knockin' up its leaden door
I will sing my straightjacket hymns
I'm puttin' melodies to unspoken sins
as they float skyward, the sky goes red
