  • The long red, flowing through my mind
    Dream here, dreamin' there
    Two pieces all the time

    Sobered, wisdoms in my dreams
    Bits and pieces in my arms
    This is always what it seems

    Long red, helpin' you to find a day
    Bright red, how am I gonna find a way?

    Bright red
    You have changed me too
    Stranger now it seems somehow
    Bright red has turned to blue

    Long red
    Tears and shades of gray
    I have [Incomprehensible] you
    I've lost forever from today

    Long red, helpin' you to find the day
    Bright red, how am I gonna find a way?

    Long red
    Tears and shades of gray
    I have changed you
    I've lost forever from today Writer/s: FELIX PAPPALARDI, JOHN ELIS VENTURA, LESLIE A. WEINSTEIN, NORMAN LANDSBERG

  • Ken Kantor from Berkeley, CaPretty evidently about West's heroin addiction.

    Long red, flowing through my mind
    Being here, dreamin' there
    Two pieces all the time
    Sobered, whispers in my dreams
    Bits and pieces in my arms
    This is always what it seems
    Long red, helpin' you to find the day
    Bright red, how am I gonna find a way?
    Bright red
    You have chained me to
    Stranger now it seems somehow
    Bright red has turned to blue
    Long red
    Tears and shades of gray
    I have changed you
    I have lost forever from today
    Long red, helpin' you to find the day
    Bright red, how I'm gonna find a way.
