Red mosquito

Watched from the window with a red mosquito.
I was not allowed to leave the room.
I saw the sun go down and now it’s coming up.
Somewhere in the time between I was bitten.
Must have been the devil.
He was just paying me a little visit.
Reminding me of his presence.
Letting me know he’s a-waiting. Ohh…

Red man’s your neighbor. Call it behavior.
While you’re climbing up slippery hills.
Two steps ahead of him. Punctures in your neck.
Hovering just above your bed. (x2)

I was bitten must have been the devil.
He was just paying me a little visit.
Reminding me of his presence.
And letting me know he’s a-waiting.
He’s a-waiting ohh there. Yeah.

If I had known then what I know now… (x4)
