HEAVEN 17 - Red lyrics

And an angel writes a word across the sky

When the people laugh there's no sound

And the words keep falling round and round

And the world just keeps on watching

Till there's nothing left to buy

I don't believe it

Well they don't care

It's moving closer

It's everywhere

Everything around us turning red - red

You walk into your home

You walk it talks - red

The fever's taken over everyone

And the only law that matters is the gun

The people run from every slum

There's nowhere safe to watch it from

The underground is over now

There's nothing that can be done

I don't believe it

Well they don't care

It's moving closer

It's everywhere

Everything around us turning red

You walk into a bar

You drink it smokes - red

You're driving in your car

You turn it burns - red

As the air becomes too hot for us to breathe

There's none of us that really want to leave

From the frozen north to the sun soaked south

The colour spreads by word of mouth

Till there's no-one left to talk to

We just look into the screen

Well I don't believe it

Well they don't care

It's moving closer

It's everywhere

Everything around us turning red - red

You walk into your home

You walk it talks - red

You walk into a bar

You drink it smokes - red

You're driving in your car

You turn it burns - red

You're on the telephone

You talk it's always - red

You walk into your home

You walk it talks - red

You walk into a bar

You drink it smokes - red

Red! - Red! - Red! - Red!

except this title which is printed in blue
