Ma**achusetts 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
