The Woman in Red

There’s a red clad woman dancing on the sidewalk

Her head is full of the glory of life

And she’s singing

Can’t you hear her singing?

She’s singing

Can’t you hear her sing?

People think she’s crazy

Her heart is burning, her head is pounding

Her eyes are full of liquid rage

How dare they, when they know nothing,

Criticize the life of someone they will never meet?

How dare they?

How dare they?

There’s a red clad woman dancing on the sidewalk,

Her head is full of screams

And she’s crying

Can’t you see her crying?

She’s crying

Can’t you see?

She feels alone in the world, her life over

She runs a blade across her skin

To let her horrors out

People think she’s sick

But they know nothing of her disease

She feels the wrath of a world alone

In solitude and mayhem

She wants freedom from her woes

She is on her own

How dare they?

There's a red clad woman singing in the rain

Her voice is soaring, soaring

And she's smiling
Can't you see her smiling?
She's smiling
Can't you see?

She's healing from her wounds
She can breathe again
She feels free from the pain she felt

People see her beauty, such beauty
They say she shines like the horizon

She feels like fire 

Aflame with dreams and passion

She has begun to sing anew

She is not alone
They dared to be kind
And she is saved
