Must Have Been New

I came back from a firestorm News from the dead zone But I ripped up the info I wore black like a widow White noise in my headphones Had a taste of some homegrown I didn't know The tables could turn either side I didn't know The dangers of red in that sky It must have passed me by I must have been new I got pushed in the wrong way But I had a field day I saw the villagers lead me I was a hypnotized geek with Just enough leeway To grab my boots out the hallway I didn't know That somehow the day was the night I didn't know I was too close to see I wasn't sure The shades of that red in the sky I must have been so new I must have been so new Must have been so new I must have been so new We covered up the tracks, there is no turning back It is clear enough for anyone to see The sounds of love breaking down There are thousands around But it was new to my ears And I was new to those tears falling down I must have been so new I must have been new I must have been new Time after time I must have been new
