Lyrics for Red

Tears of joy at the birth of a brother Never alone from that time 16 years through knife fights and danger Strangely why his life, not mine Westside skyline crying Fallen angel dying Risk a life to make a dime Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city Make us the people we are Switchblade stings in one-tenth of a moment Better get back to the car Fallen angel Fallen angel Fallen angel Fallen angel Westside skyline crying for an angel dying Life expiring in the city Snow white side streets of cold New York City Stained with his blood, all went wrong Sick and tired blue wicked and wild God only knows for how long Fallen angel Fallen angel
