such a good song
watched from the window, with a red mosquito
i was not allowed to leave the room
i saw the sun go down, and now it's coming up
somewhere in the time between
i was bitten, must have been the devil
he was just paying me...
a little visit, reminding me of his presence
letting me know, he's a-waiting... oh
red man's your neighbor, call it behavior
while you're climbing up slippery hills
two steps ahead of him, punctures in your neck
hovering just above your bed
hovering just above your bed
i was bitten, must have been the devil
he was just paying me...
a little visit, reminding me of his presence
and letting me know, he's a'waiting, he's a'waiting...
up there... yeah
if i had known then what i know now...
if i had known then what i know now...
if i had known then what i know now...
if i had known then what i know now...

I agree..that is a great song!:D
That line is what gets me through the rough times, and everytime I hear that song, I sing that line b/c man, I know I have made bad choices in my life.
I was hoping they would play it in Little Rock, but didn't, but man, that was a shocker when they played it at MSG 2...talk about NO CODE love that night;)
Just giving my 2 cents.:)

its such a great song
I thought I would never hear it
i was surprised to hear it at the garden
I called my sis, Jaya from there, b/c, well NO CODE love baby!
That, I have to say, is one of my favorite songs off of that album.

Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
fitting isn't it?:)

Thats what I heard also... It was a show in SF where he had to go off stage because he had a food poisoning. Neil Young jumped in to get the band through it. I think its written in 5 against 1.
Ed had to stay in the hospital room for at least 12 hours (sun go down... and now its coming up). A red mosquito was in there as well and buged him all the time...
So plenty of time to get to thinking...
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Much love

i totally agree with you! oh man, the song itself has great lyrics, but the chorus always gets me, a very clever way to put into words a feeling i'm sure most of us have had at some point in our lives!

Letting me know, he's a-waiting.."

i don't know what it is, but something in the music reminds of of another old time favorite of mine - Satan's Bed.
"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world." Herman Melville : Moby Dick
Mike McCready used a zippo lighter belonging to Ed during the recording of this track. In fact, this was a gift from Ed's grandfather.
Mike asked if he could have it and Ed answered ... No !!!
Then he goes like "you should probably have it though" or something like this.
Anyway great tune to hear live !

Except Lukin.
That sucks donkeys.
that was my first show!
awesome amazing song, but i always wondered about it, was it really about food poisoing? was it drugs maybe, an overdose, a visit from the devil, he's awaiting? if i had known then, what i know now......?
am i reading too much into the lyrics?
anyone?
I like it so much i'm getting a red mosquito tattooed on my left wrist :O
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Red Mosquito live is so phenomenal. I love the studio version, but live takes this song to another stratosphere!
My favorite album to date!
It will take something pretty damn impressive from PJ to change that.
Never even realized what a great song it truely was until that moment.

I love the sound of Mike's guitar.
It's growing up just like me.
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
