I can't ever understand
Why my life has been cursed, poisoned and condemned
When I've been trying every night to hold you near me
I'm telling you it isn't easy, believe me
We love them
We mourn for them
Unlucky boys of red
I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
To where Mother Nature makes their bed
We miss them
Every night we kiss them
Their faces fixed in our heads
I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
To where Mother Nature makes their bed
They can't hurt you
Their style will never desert you
Because they're all safely dead
I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
Why my life has been cursed, poisoned and condemned
When I've been trying every night to hold you near me
I'm telling you it isn't easy, believe me
We love them
We mourn for them
Unlucky boys of red
I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
To where Mother Nature makes their bed
We miss them
Every night we kiss them
Their faces fixed in our heads
I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
To where Mother Nature makes their bed
They can't hurt you
Their style will never desert you
Because they're all safely dead
I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
