Songtext:
All I want is a little sign
to tell my left from right,
before the ground beneath me
sets it's sights
All I need is a reference guide
to tell the day from the night
'cause
Black is white
The sky is red
That mean ol' world's been
messin' with my head
Down is up to the upside down,
is that what's being said?
The deep blue sun's been
trippin' on the dead
Time spits stakes in a yellow line
from which no man will ever rise,
'cause
Black is white
The sky is red
I drag my sense of reason
to the shed
No place to hide inside the yellow lind
No bargains struck, all appeals denied
Black is white
The sky is red
Concrete crumbles beneath my feet,
I struggle for every step
The Birdman rules the roost,
I must confess
Concrete crumbles beneath my feet
and all bets are off
'cause
Black is white
The sky is red
That mean ol' world's
done taken out my friend
to tell my left from right,
before the ground beneath me
sets it's sights
All I need is a reference guide
to tell the day from the night
'cause
Black is white
The sky is red
That mean ol' world's been
messin' with my head
Down is up to the upside down,
is that what's being said?
The deep blue sun's been
trippin' on the dead
Time spits stakes in a yellow line
from which no man will ever rise,
'cause
Black is white
The sky is red
I drag my sense of reason
to the shed
No place to hide inside the yellow lind
No bargains struck, all appeals denied
Black is white
The sky is red
Concrete crumbles beneath my feet,
I struggle for every step
The Birdman rules the roost,
I must confess
Concrete crumbles beneath my feet
and all bets are off
'cause
Black is white
The sky is red
That mean ol' world's
done taken out my friend
