I watch as my sad lover dreams
On a wave of swirling hurricane disaster
With a bullet for the ghost following after
I watch as my sad lover dreams
I hate when the red sun goes down
And burns a lonely shadows into pavement
And the breaking of my heart, I can't evade it
I hate when that red sun goes down
Alright
I hate when the red sun goes down
And burns a lonely shadows into pavement
And the breaking of my heart, I can't evade it
I hate when that red sun goes down
I pray for my sad lover's dream
On a wave of swirling novocaine and laughter
And tears the only gift following after
I pray for my sad lover's dream
I pray for my sad lover's dream
Come one
