Red Rider

Songwriter: Tom Cochrane

Producer: David Tickle Ed Thacker

Look...up on the building
See a silhouette
Crowd looks hungry
Because he ain't jumped yet

Man up on the tower
Looks big up there
He's got something extra
I wonder if he's scared

People do some strange things
When they're all together
They wouldn't even dream of
By themselves

Come on, come on, come on
Turn it on
Turn it on, come on
Power...power

Is he turning on us
Is he turning
You can't see his eyes now
Bet that they're burning

Are we among them
There's strength in their numbers
Can't even hear us
There's to many others

What's he keep saying
They're not even listening
Is he a poor man
Why don't we listen

People do some strange things...

It's invisible
You can't even touch it
If I was a wise man
I'd have spoke up

If I was a brave man
I'd surely said something
Now I can't even sleep on it
Cause it's all used up
All used up

Red Rider was a Canadian rock band that formed in 1975. A few years later, future rock legend Tom Cochrane joined the band, and in 1979 released its breakthrough album Don’t Fight It. As Far as Siam, released in 1981, contained Lunatic Fringe, which remains Red Rider’s largest success. The band broke up silently in 1990, but reformed in 2002 and plays live to this day.
