Red On Red
Red on red, like a candy apple
Her red face looked tomato red
Blotchy as Philadelphia scrapple
Agony, anger, lots of dread
The face of a woman obsessed
With a madman’s crazy day
She wanted to escape, fly away
Gray on gray, smoke won’t go away
I don’t know what I can really say
I think I might need a bullet proof vest
For if I linger I may be laid to rest
And vultures will fly over my head
Thru the smoke to be gladly fed
Blue on blue, does anyone have a clue
What causes the greenish, blue flames
To travel thru the lives of me and you
In a land divided in two by red and blue?
We are also torn between will and must
Confusion covers us like rust and dust
