Red Mosquito

Watched from the window, with a red mosquito
I was not allowed to leave the room
I saw the sun go down, and now its coming up
Somewhere in the time between

I was bitten, must have been the devil...
He was just plain mean
A little visit reminded me of his presence
Letting me know, hes awaiting..

Red mans your neighbor, call it behavior

While youre climbing up slipperly hills
Two steps ahead of him, bunches in his neck
Hovering just about your bed (2x)

I was bitten, must have been the devil...
He was just plain mean
A little visit reminded me of his presence
And letting me know, hes awaiting, hes awaiting...
Up there... yeah

If I had known then what I know now (2x)
How could I known then what I know now (2x)

Obviously it's about temptation, but I wanted a deeper meaning. Any ideas?

My FAVORITE song on one of my FAVORITE records of all-time.

    It was written in the hotel room later that night, actually.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
