King Crimson - One More Red Nightmare Lyrics






Pan American nightmare
Ten thousand feet fun-fair
Convinced 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
But the captain forbade me
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

    You destroy this comment section with the power of KING CRIMSON, now I have to use GER to reverse it

  5. L.... H....

    It's like Crimson not Krimson... 🎶

    That frickin' CYMBAL at the beginning of the song! Haha! Bill Bruford was saying he found it in the garbage can at the studio. It sounded so terrible that he just HAD to put it in the song!!

    A.... ....

    As a drummer, who is a huge fan of KC And all of billz stuff, im basically just reapeating myself. I already said I play drums, the rest of that was redundant. Lame jokes aside, but i always just loved that groove and the how he is just all over it, and most of all....that cymbal and how he he got it to sound like that. I just assumed it was some sort of china crash and or he was playing a set of stacked cymbals. I have never heard that Bruford/KC story. But that is friggin' awesome. Haha...Ah,Well, u know what they say? One man's trash is another man's awesome cymbal track.

    A.... ....

    Bruford's a loon. Always been one. Always be one! And that's what's cool about him! ;-) You can hear his quirkiness in his drumming so clearly! The guy is mega-talented. And his personality just gives his work that much more appeal. So, it's no surprise that he saw a piece of trash and thought to himself: "Ohhh I could really do something with that!"

    A.... ....

    Here's the story from the horse's mouth on his website:


    "The cymbal was featured on “One More Red Nightmare” from King Crimson’s “Red” album, and has quietly become a legend. I found it in the rehearsal room trash can, deposited there by the group in the room before us. It was turned up on one side in an effort to get it to fit in the bin, like an Australian bush hat; it had definitely seen better days. It was a “foreign made” Zilco Standard cymbal imported into the UK by Arbiter Co. Ltd., and, before you ask, I have no idea what happened to Zilco. Anyway, it’s maltreatment had bequeathed it this fabulous trashy sound with a very short, fast decay. It looked so sad; I took pity on it and we fell in love. I used it for about a year or so before it split, and the end came swiftly after that.

    I sent the CD to Paiste Cymbals in Switzerland, with a view to them creating something similar, but heard no more."

    Best use of a China ever

    E.... M....

    It's not China! I just saw Bill Bruford's website, and he said: The cymbal was featured on “One More Red Nightmare” from King Crimson’s “Red” album, and has quietly become a legend. I found it in the rehearsal room trash can, deposited there by the group in the room before us.

    @Marko Marković you can emulate this sound pretty well by putting duct tape on a china cymbal
