Red-Eyed And Blue

Song byWilco
in AlbumBeing There

We've got solid state technology

Tapes on the floor

Some songs we can't afford to play

When we came here today

All I wanted to say was how much I miss you

Alcohol and cotton balls

And some drugs we can't afford on the way

When we came here today

We all felt something true

Now I'm red-eyed and blue
