Red is Your Art - Live at Birmingham Symphony Hall

When the sun takes the colour of old pockets of rust
I slip my cover and I cut through the dusk
I sing for my lover in the alleys and the fields
I run from the hunters with their dogs at my heels

Red is your art
Red is the blood of my animal heart
Red is the blood of my animal heart

The engines and headlights interrupt the still night
I've spilled all my secrets, I've got nothing to hide
The moon is my witness, I have lived by her light
Now that spell is broken and I run from your sight

Red is your art
Red is the blood of my animal heart
Red is the blood of my animal heart

If life gets in your way, you just bulldoze it through
Chainsaw the nests (chainsaw the nests)
Chop down the trees (chop down the trees)
Poison the well and crop-dust the bees

When the diggers are silent and the rails have been laid
Will you weigh my value against the time that you'll save?

Red is your art
Red is the blood of my animal heart
Red is the blood of my animal heart

Red is your art
Red is the blood of our animal hearts
Red is the blood of our animal hearts
