1. Red (Instrumental)

2. Fallen Angel
   
	Tears of joy at the birth of a brother
	Never alone from that time
	Sixteen Years through knife fights and danger
	Strangely why his life not mine

	West side skyline crying
	Fallen angel dying
	Risk a life to make a dime

	Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city
	Make us the people we are
	Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment
	Better get back to the car

	Snow white side streets of cold New York City
	Stained with his blood it all went wrong
	Sick and tired blue wicked and wild
	God only knows for how long

	Fallen angel
	Fallen angel
	West side skyline
	Crying for an angel dying
	Life expiring in the city
	Fallen angel...

3. One More Red Nightmare

	Pan American nightmare
	Ten thousand feet fun-fair
	Convinved that I don't care
	It's safe as houses I swear
	I was just sitting musing
	The virtues of cruising
	When altitude dropping
	My ears started popping
	One more red nightmare
	
	Sweat beginning to pour down
	My neck as I turn round
	I heard fortune shouting
	Just get off of this outing
	A farewell swan song
	See you know how turbulence can be
	The stewardess made me (*see note*)
	One more red nightmare

	Reality stirred me
	My angel had heard me
	The prayer had been answered
	A reprieve has been granted
	The dream was now broken
	Thought rudely awoken
	Really safe and sound
	Asleep on the Greyhound
	One more red nightmare

4. Providence (Instrumental)

5. Starless

	Sundown dazzling day
	Gold through my eyes
	But my eyes turned within
	Only see
	Starless and bible black

	Ice blue silver sky
	Fades into grey
	To a grey hope that oh years to be
	Starless and bible black

	Old friend charity
	Cruel twisted smile
	And the smile signals emptiness
	For me
	Starless and bible black

*Note, though it is not listed there is a one after "The stewardess..."
I believe it is "But the captain forbade me" could be that the CD is
definitive edition, the lyrics may not be, but I really don't know,
it's not unusual for thigs to be odd like that (Ohh, that made sense)
