The sky was red, he stared ahead
I saw him tread, one step more
Gets out of bed, he feels me dread
His dreams are dead, money makes him poor

He's been mislead
Life's flown overhead
Overhead
Overhead, oh

There's a bird trapped in his head but he ignores it instead
And his spirit has long fled and now he is hard to the core
She could have lead him to the rich sky
Wonders why she's not around anymore

He's been mislead
Life's flown overhead
Overhead
Overhead, oh

He said I can lead you to the red sky
If you just stop asking why
If you just stop asking why
If you just stop asking why, why

And I said I will reach deep down inside
And stare with you ahead and give you all my red
And put it in your head and in your heart
And I will part and you will stay
But I will still dream of one day
Might not be so far away
Might not be so far away
