Red's Repose

by Thomas Anderson

from the album On Becoming Human

Freddy and Clem and all the rest of them

Waitin' for the trumpets on judgment day

Even God's wishin' only heaven knows

And waitin' for the end of Red's Repose

Laughed till I cried holdin' my sides

Funniest thing when I was five years old

God bless the rabbit ears and all the old shows

We're waitin' for the end of Red's Repose

Red's Repose, Red's Repose

We're waitin' for the end of Red's Repose

Cross your eyes get a big string tie

Can't you see him in the by-and-by

Many are called but few are chose

And they're waitin' for the end of Red's Repose

Oh the monks all howl underneath their cowls

The wise men laugh on the one true path

All the saints and glory on the streets of gold

Are waitin' for the end of Red's Repose

Red's Repose, Red's Repose

We're waitin' for the end of Red's Repose
