Redmen And Their Wives - Guided By Voices

Fall out of bed

They’re issuing lives for redmen and their wives

Offering hands

And twiddling thumbs for dreams that never come

Often said

«You better not look away, you’ll lose the day»

The way I see it, it’s already lost

«So then be it,» they say

They’re sharpening knives

And primitive lives for redmen and their wives

Breadwinner and klutz

And losing it all before the one eye shuts

Well, I see it as paying the price

Nobody feels it these days

Well, I’d like to go and kiss them away

Well, I’d like to know another way

Did you notice that they’re taking back lives

From redmen just to

Give them time to find the light

In all the things that bind with fright?

A killer’s waking up this time

To rob us clean and leave us blind

They’ll never see it shine, they’ll never find the time

We’ll never see it shine, we’ll never find the time
