Red Sky

you can't say yes if you can't no
you can't sit still enough to watch them grow
how are you, your looking down, what's up
been drinking fire from a purple cup
the moon is in Venus and Venus is inside
giving all the lonely ones a reason to hide
banging on the bins in the alley of the ?sods?
hanging from the limbs in the valley of the gods

Chorus:
red sky, yellow line, apple pie, friends of mine
this time, this war, we don't belong here

sand through a drinking glass all eyes for two
watching two get married and turn the sky to blue
inside and outside the birds are flying far
this way to the bowery boys ready your scars

red sky, yellow line, apple pie, friends of mine
this time, this war, we don't belong here

you can't yes
you can't say no
you can't yes
you can't say no
you can't yes
you can't say no
you can't sit still enough to watch them grow

That's what I always heard. It's pretty common British short version of Sodomite, I believe.

Well that sure adds some color to the line doesn't it?

Thanks Cleantone~*~

You are the man. Did you transcribe the lyrics yourself?

Anyhow, thanks!
