What a strange world it is when we sit around nervously watching the television waiting for a war to begin! As though it's some kind of sporting event. In this version I've layered all sorts Lyrics Red Sky in the Morning Gonna wake up tomorrow in a cold sweat In a cold war, in a cold bed Gonna wake up tomorrow in a cold sweat Gonna be a red sky in the morning Gonna be a red sky in the morning Gonna be a red sky all day Red sky in the morning Red sky all day Trouble in a day with no shadows Everything is flat in the heavy haze Trouble in a day with no shadows Gonna be a red sky in the morning Gonna be a red sky in the morning Gonna be a red sky all day Red sky in the morning Red sky all day Not gonna be a storm just the heat lighting Not gonna fall asleep ?til the break of day Not gonna be a storm just the heat lighting Gonna be a red sky in the morning Gonna be a red sky in the morning Gonna be a red sky all day Red sky in the morning Red sky all day
