Red Guitar Lyrics

I recognise no method of living that I know
I see only the basic materials I may use

If you ask me, I may tell you
It's been this way for years

I play my red guitar
It's the devil in the flesh
It's the iron in my soul

I understand you're facing problems inside you
A certain difficulty of being that I know too

You may ask me why do I fail
Just when I'm needed

I play my red guitar
It's the devil in the flesh
It's the iron in my soul

If you ask me, I may tell you
It's been this way for years

To me it's about how art is the only thing anchoring him to life, the one true preoccupation, the only thing that makes sense.

"I recognise no method of living that I know, I see only the basic materials I may use...I play my Red guitar..."

music is all he has. What a beautiful song it is.
