Song lyrics
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 comin' up
somewhere in the time between

I was bitten must have been the devil
he was just payin' me
a little visit, a-reminding me of his presence
lettin' me know, he's a-waitin' for me...

Red man's your neighbor, call it behavior
while you're climbing up slippery hills
two steps ahead of him, punctures in your neck
hoverin' just above your bed
hoverin' 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 lettin' me know, he's a-waitin'
he's a-waitin',up there...yeah...

If i had known then what i now know

Yeah, this song is great. I think its about the lingering presence of addiction and that lingering memory of how good something might have seemed at one time.
