Red Dawn Main Title (From "Red Dawn / L'Aube Rouge") - Basil Poledouris, Steven Seagal & Todd Smallwood

Take a little walk to the edge of town And go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom As it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires In the humming wires Hey man, you know you're never coming back Past the square, past the bridge Past the mills, past the stacks On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with a red right hand He'll wrap you in his arms Tell you that you've been a good boy He'll rekindle all the dreams, it took you a lifetime to destroy He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul But there won't be a single thing that you can do He's a god, he's a man He's a ghost, he's a guru They're whispering his name Through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat is a red right hand You don't have no money? He'll get you some You don't have no car? He'll get you one You don't have no self-respect You feel like an insect Well, don't you worry buddy 'cause here he comes Through the ghettos and the barrio And the Bowery and the slums A shadow is cast wherever he stands Stacks of green paper in his red right hand You'll see him in your nightmares You'll see him in your dreams He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen And hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off He's a ghost, he's a god He's a man, he's a guru You're one microscopic cog In his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his red right hand

These days, I've been barely holding on Climbing the walls every dusk 'til dawn Fearing the future, morning will pass The hours moving slowly, then vanishing fast But I'm trying in my way to concede And to tell you just what I need Help me carry this weight that's dragging me down Pull me out of the drink before I start to drown Let the wreckage all sink To where the fishes are frightening I wanna hear myself think again I wanna hear myself think again For so long, I've been turnin' into the skid And waltzing away from the damage I did I'd brush off my shoulders and tuck in my shirt And flee from the scene before I knew I'd been hurt But I've been trying my best to concede To cease, to take, just receive 'Cause there's more than your love That I need, that I need Help me carry this weight that's dragging me down Pull me out of the drink before I start to drown Let the wreckage all sink To where the fishes are frightening I wanna hear myself think again Help me carry this weight that's dragging me down Pull me out of the drink before I start to drown Let the wreckage all sink To where the fishes are frightening I wanna hear myself think again I wanna hear myself think again Think again
