Red Bird

Massachusetts Turnpike red and slow on either side
Heading for a town I'll never know, just south of dignified
Did I hear you on the radio saying keep your mind?
Flee for me red bird

Carrie said a thread should not be sewn in compromise
That would be a cancer of the bone back where you keep a spine
Timid I could never fake a known, not in my eyes
Flee for me red bird

Red bird, bird
Red bird
Find me a blue piece of sky
Red bird

Mother mayday burned into the air a better light
Friday rain confounded up the word behind a crashing flight
In the end we're only crying out, "Help me tonight"
Flee for me red bird

Before a soul can hate it's gotta love with every cell
Mission of a careless broken heart begets a living hell
Carrie never paid for all the love she'd never sell
Flee for me red bird
Flee for me red bird
Flee for me red bird

Red bird, bird
Red bird, bird
Red bird, bird
Red bird, red bird
