Walls to the left walls to the right
Shadows in the flickering light
At the front, at the back, everlasting night
No horizon in my sight
If only for a day, I could go another way
Dirt on my hands, dirt on my feet
We're shuffling on to the same old beat
Drops of wet, on my head
Here I'm stuck, poor old Red
I see it in in my dreams
There is more to the ceiling than it seems... (on the other side)
Than it seems... (on the other side)
And when I make it to the other side
I will embrace the sunlight
And finally I will see roses of red
They call me Red, since I was a kid
The joke got old but I live with it
They talk of colours, nice and clean
When black is all they've ever seen
If only I could spy a rainbow in the sky
There's no dusk, there's no dawn
Time keeps marching on and on
Hanging down, stalactite
Growing upwards, stalagmite
Somewhere there is a ladder
The only thing that matters to me now (on the other side)
To me now... (on the other side)
And when I make it to the other side
I will embrace the sunlight
And finally I will see roses of red

Jutze: Unser Song für die erste Runde des 5. Song Fu-Songwriting-Wettbewerbs im November 2009. Aufgabe war es, ein Lied über einen der 700 Maulwurfmenschen von John Hodgmans Liste zu schreiben. Wir hatten keine Ahnung, was es damit auf sich hat, und nahmen uns entsprechend künstlerische Freiheiten.
