Redmen And Their Wives Lyrics - 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
