In a town where the river runs dry
Echoes of whispers 'neath the blood-red sky
A restless heart a bad bad dream
Stories told in shadows stealin' my last gleam
Down by the bar with the haunting blues
Bartender pours out pain through those whiskey hues
Sweet sax cryin' somethin' 'bout a lost romance
Can't shake this feelin' don't stand a chance
Redrum blues painted on the walls
Old ghost stories down these haunted halls
With a heavy heart and a broken tune
I'm dancin' with the devil 'neath the blood-red moon
Saxophones wail in the midnight air
While horns play on with a mournful stare
Bassline trembles deep in my soul
Every beat diggin' just another hole
A shadowed past a mirror on the run
The secrets kept hidden from the sun
Whiskey warmth can't erase the pain
Oh the redrum blues call my name again
Countin' stars by the dim street light
Each one a memory of a fateful night
Playin' cards with luck losin' every hand
Dreams shattered like glass on this dusty land
