[Verse]
F
There's a fat man who offers a change of scene
Dm C
Says he'll guarantee my sheet will be clean when I get on the outside
F
But who can you trust when the walls have ears
Dm F Dm
I'm for takin' a chance, like a drownin' man I'm going under
[Chorus]
Cm A Dm A
I've got reds in my bed, I'm not easily led to the slaughter
Dm A F Am
And while the cold war exists, I'll stay warm with the commissars daughter
[Verse]
F
We could meet at the zoo where the tiger roams, in a prison of steel
Dm C
He reminds me so much of the way I feel
F
And we know that we're both in the danger zone
Dm F Dm
Where the eyes of the world, full of shutters and bugs are upon us now
[Chorus]
Cm A Dm A
I've got reds in my bed, I get blues looking out of my window
Dm A F Am
And we're never alone, there's a tap on the phone and my pillow
[Bridge]
D
Let me go home (There's a girl in a distant land)
F# Bm
Let me go home (Who's nothing more than a memory)
D G
She don't know that I'm gonna get free
D
Let me go home (You're a land full of misery)
F# Bm
Let me go home (You're a cruel and a faceless race)
D G
I don't like your philosophy, I don't like your philosophy
[Verse]
F
The connections are made and the time is right
Dm C
So my body is walled in the shell of a car in the dead of night
F
And I laugh through the pain and the agony
Dm F Dm
As they cut me away to be born again back to humanity
[Chorus]
Cm A Dm A
You've got reds in your bed, there's a man lookin' over your shoulder
Dm A F Am
But don't you give him your mind, it's too late when you find that it's over you
[Outro]
D
Let me go home...
