Lyrics
I SEE RED
VERSE 1
Looking at the world through dark glasses
School of hard knocks gives hard classes
Giving me the third degree
It's no Bachelor's or PhD
CHORUS
Close my eyes and I see red
I see red
Maybe I'll be blue instead
Blue instead
VERSE 2
Looking at the world through dark glasses
Be my shield when all else crashes
It's not that they help me see
Just lends an air of mystery
CHORUS
VERSE 3 (4 instrumental phrases/solo)
Looking at the world through dark glasses
Through these lenses all light passes
Doesn't matter day or night
It's about the look, not my sight
OUTRO
Close my eyes and I see red
I see red
Maybe I'll be blue instead
Close my eyes and I see red
I see red
Maybe I'll be blue instead
Blue instead
