Rancid 03 Red Hot Moon Lyrics

Under the red hot moon
take the bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight
[x2]

KC's from Campbell, California
She's got a reputation that she didn't ask for
And she's waiting for an escape now
That escape is called the 164

Now KC, she don't want to admit where she is from
And KC, she wants to run run run
She's a punk rocker, she don't trust no one
On a South Bay bus all alone

Under the red hot moon
take the bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight
[x2]

KC was never caught up
like the rest of the rats in a f___ing maze
"Check me out," she said, "I'm in a concrete jungle,
I'm an individual and you are stuck in a haze

Oh hell no, she knows what the truth is,
'cause she says so, and she knows who her friends are,
so f___ you, don't get no closer,
it will only make her run far away

Under the red hot moon
take the bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight
[x2]

I knew KC's brother pretty well
Let's say we spent a lot of time hanging out
I always thought and so did he that she'd be the one
To get out of here and make a life for herself

But when we found her in the little league park
In the dugouts, it was cold, damp and dark
And no one knew why she wouldn't wake up
I think she finally made it back home

Under the red hot moon
take the bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight
[x2]

[Skinhead Rob:]
One time for your mind, two times for your soul,
three four, the graveyards and the money I fold.
Dipped out in the city where the sun burns slow,
no hope, it's a pity, I can't say no.
Not my time to go, it's not my time to die,
the last thing I want is for my mother to cry.
It was love at first light that very first night,
things have never been the same since I took my first flight.
The way I live my life, I love, I live lavish.
You lost me from the start, you lose, you'll never have this.
Untouched, unleashed, back up, you don't want it.
Stick him for his cash, his bad, it's how he flaunt it.
Take two and pass, I'll take two and blast.
Bust a mother f___er, I'm out on the smash.
Dipped out, I'm high as f___, I'm outta control.
Lets bounce, rock, skate, man, I'm ready to roll.

Under the red hot moon
[repeat to fade]
