I See Red (Version 2)

I See Red x 6

I try to sleep the night

I try to ease the tension

I try to justify

All of my good intentions

I go right up the wall?

Blurry? like a work? of art?

I close my eyes and I...

I see red

I see red x 4

I try to wash my hands

Of all the misery

But after seeing red

It always follows me

I could be in the shower

I could be in my bed

I could be anywhere

All I see is red

I see red x 6

I hear the brother screaming

I know the ?

I know his history

Because I killed his family

It's in the name of science

That's what the paper says

It's in the name of...

Cause all I see is red

I see red x16

I try to wash my hands

Of all the misery

But after seeing red

It always follows me

I could be in the shower

I could be in my bed

I could be anywhere

I'm still seein' red

I see red

I try to sleep the night

I try to ease the tension

I try to justify

All of my good intentions

I go right up the wall?

Blurry? like a work? of art?

I close my eyes and I...

I see red

I see red x 16

Note: The version performed at early shows on the 1986 tour changed the verses to:

I try to sleep the night

I try to ease the tension

I try to close my eyes

I can hear one dimension

I go right up the wall?

Blurry? like a work? of art?

I close my eyes and I...

I see red

I hear the brother screaming

I know the things they say

I know his history

Cause I killed his family, say

It's in the name of progress

That's what the paper says

I don't care what I read

Cause all I see is red
