Cover art for Red Giant lyrics by Alice in Chains

These lyrics listed are wrong, I sent an update. Here are the lyrics from the vinyl I received.

I play the clown for you Entertaining, absurd hue And I watch them laugh, I'd love to See them clap and dance to my tune

Blowing up like a red giant, expansive, a star And I'm coming to burn this down and laugh my ass off

All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over Amen

I act on stage up here Toying with your own fears Misdirection I'm so near Simple sleight of hand, in the clear

Blowing up like a red giant, expansive, a star And I'm coming to burn this down and laugh my ass off

All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over Amen

Too late now, show's over Real life is much closer Take the makeup off, you wonder Why I look the same, only bolder

Blowing up like a red giant, expansive, a star And I'm coming to burn this down and laugh my ass off

All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over Amen

All my children sing it again and again 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over Amen

Nice. Thanks for the updated lyrics. After reading the other ones and listening to this song, I thought "the fuck? That doesn't sound right" haha. Amazing song, though. And nice to know that there are still others out there buying vinyl.

Also, it's nice to meet another AIC listener as well.
