Album: Red Skies Over Paradise

Red Skies Over Paradise (a Brighton Dream)

My hand reached down for the radio.
I held it up to my ear.
The beads of sweat gathered on my head and tickled down.
Out in the park children were playing.
Though it was dark
The sky glowed red.
People were stunned, everyone waiting.
Nobody knew why
But I see it all now.

The newsman said most of London's gone.
We saw the cloud rise from here.
An ice cream van with it's music on goes round and round.
Out in the park children were playing.
Though it was dark
The sky glowed red.
People were stunned, everyone waiting.
Nobody knew why
But I see it all now.

Down in their bunkers under the sea.
Men pressing buttons don't care about me.

There's lots of sands on the cellar floor.
We went down there for the night.
The barricades that my brother made keeps out the light.
Out in the park children were playing.
Though it was dark
The sky glowed red.
People were stunned, everyone waiting.
Nobody knew why
But I see it all now.

Down in their bunkers under the sea.
Men pressing buttons don't care about me.
