lyrics

Can you fall asleep standing up like I can
I get pins and needles in my fingers and my hands
When I lie down, down, when I lie down.

I swear that light was never on when I left home.
And I hear interference on the radio, are we alone?
And you suspect we're heading down, down, we're heading down.

Say a prayer for the cold grey men
Say a prayer for the ones on the streets
Say a prayer for the cold grey men
Say a prayer for the secret police

There is no real, just a string of fronts,
But you wouldn't be you without the things you've done.
We all wash clean when we're gone,
But I can taste iron on the tip of my tongue.

And my blood is running thin and cold
Are we on Red yet?
And you pull your shrug a little tighter round your shoulders
We're on the 3am shift again
When it goes, when it goes down, down, when it goes down.

Are we on Red yet?
Are we on Red?
