about

The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Puerto de Santa Maria Spain, the Conway Tavern and some scrap of paper from nowhere for the chorus.

lyrics

When Karenin was lying there on that couch
I looked you in the eyes and said we can die now
Notice the author didn't leave us out of breath
He left us as dying instead of just death
Looking back is a way to rediscover the fear
To remember all those promises I made every year
'Cause there's nothing in tomorrow to make me do a thing
I'm immune to anything the world may bring

CHORUS
I saw Red
And this is what he said
Absolutely nothing, nothing to explain
So I could only thing that he'd gone insane
I saw red and this is what he said
He said nothing

VS. 2
In an unadorned living room in the south of Spain
Can you believe I'll go and listen to all this shit again?
The family's worried the marble's not good for the baby
They ask me what I think, I say, "I don't know, maybe"
Let the violin player in on what we all know
She can collect her check when she walks through that door
We've decided instead to go with the fiddle
You know it's more down home, it's more up the middle

I saw Red
And this is what he said
Absolutely nothing, nothing to explain
So I could only think that he'd gone insane
I saw red and this is what he said
He said nothing

Baby, baby all I wanna do is drive a van
And I don't care if I can
I may have had a few too many, so I'll quit tomorrow then
And I don't care if I can

I got drunk last night and I died my hair all pink
Tell me, what do you think that cute little waitress over there thinks?
If it looks like she don't have the time of day
I know some who always do as long as we can pay
He was a nice kid, I can't believe he left
I asked him to help out and he said yes
But there's the boss going with his final paycheck
Just pass him this note I'll convince him yet

I saw Red
And this is what he said
Absolutely nothing, nothing to explain
So I could only think that he'd gone insane
I saw Red and this is what he said
He said nothing
