Red is Your Art (feat. Kris Drever)

When the sun takes the colour of old pockets of rust

I'll slip from my cover and I'll cut through the dusk

I'll sing to my lover in the alleys and the fields

I'll run from the hunters with their dogs at my heels

Red is your art

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 nowhere 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

If life gets in your way, you just bulldoze it through

Chainsaw the nests

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 our animal hearts
