lyrics

THE RED MIST DESCENDS
I wouldn’t want to be your family it’s hard enough being your friend no 3 minute warnings when the red mist descends tear it off at the arms pit and hit me with the damp end treated worse than animals yes they tried the proper channels and I hoped that we would stay friends I hope to stay friends when the red mist descends when the red mist descends I hope to stay friends when the red mist descends we had our chance to do right by each other let’s see the new estates do any better the curse had been lifted I’m not afraid any more you never thought you’d be a child again now they stare at you all day let go of the balloon but it’s you that floats away and I hope that we could stay friends I hope to stay friends until the red mist descends when the red mist descends when the red mist descends I should have known things were bad 40 minutes over starters should have tried a new bed before changing partners she asked did I love her and if I knew what that meant I said it goes without saying she said nothing and went and I hope that we could stay friends I hope to stay friends when the red mist descends when the red mist descends when the red mist descends when the red mist descends so don’t be like angry Arthur let your rage give way to laughter so don’t be like angry Arthur let your rage give way to laughter and now you come to mention it I’ve forgotten what was causing it and I hope that we could stay friends I hope to stay friends when the red mist descends and I hope that we could stay friends I hope to stay friends until the red mist descends when the red mist descends until the red mist descends when the red mist descends watch out.
