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
