I See Red Lyrics

Artist: Gerry Rafferty
Album: On a Wing and a Prayer

Back in my school days acting the fool boys
One and one and one made three
And the man said come and cut yourself a piece of the big time.

Armour-clad forces riding trojan horses
Never made sense to me
I didnâ‚¬â„¢t wanna be a part of the great debate on moonshine.

â‚¬ËœStop, pay the priceâ‚¬â„¢, they said to me, â‚¬Ëœtake this advice:
Youâ‚¬â„¢re out of your headâ‚¬â„¢
Stop, hold the â‚¬Ëœphone -- this has to be cut to the bone
Too bad -- I see red
I see red. I see red.

She slips and stumbles, twists and she tumbles
She always lands on her feet
And she keeps her face turned to the far horizon.

Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you come this way -- wonâ‚¬â„¢t you go my way
Her rhythm doesnâ‚¬â„¢t miss a beat
Sheâ‚¬â„¢s just doinâ‚¬â„¢ everything she can to keep surviving.

â‚¬ËœStop, pay the priceâ‚¬â„¢, she said to me, â‚¬Ëœtake this advice:
Youâ‚¬â„¢re out of your headâ‚¬â„¢
Stop, hold the â‚¬Ëœphone -- this has to be cut to the bone
Too bad -- I see red.
I see red. I see red. Yeah.

Now who wants a riot -- people should be quiet
Donâ‚¬â„¢t we give â‚¬Ëœem good TV
You can learn to love a lifetime of distraction.

Youâ‚¬â„¢ve got nothinâ‚¬â„¢ on the inside, nothinâ‚¬â„¢ on the outside
All the way from A to B
I can live without that kind of satisfaction.

â‚¬ËœStop, pay the priceâ‚¬â„¢, she said to me, â‚¬Ëœtake this advice:
Youâ‚¬â„¢re out of your headâ‚¬â„¢
Stop, hold the â‚¬Ëœphone -- this has to be cut to the bone
Too bad -- I see red
I see red. I see red. I see red. Yeah.

(fade and repeat)
I see red
I see red
You make me see red
Yes I see red
I see red
I see red.
