This is the intro part:
Riff 1 |--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|------1-------1------1----|
|0--4----0--4----0--4---0--|
Riff 2 |--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|---0--2----0--2----0-2----|
|1-------1-------1-------1-|
|--------------------------|
Riff 3 |--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|---2--4---2-4---2-4-------|

The song goes like this:
Riff 1 (repeat)
Riff 2
Riff 1
Riff 2
Riff 3
Riff 4 lyrics begin
Riff 4 lyrics end
Riff 1
Riff 2
Riff 1
Riff 2
Riff 3
Riff 4 lyrics continue
Riff 4 lyrics end
After this there is a big gap in the middle and then it goes back to this sequence,
but slightly differently in timing.

| seems fairly obvious on a literal level: a dream-nightmare really- about cruising in an airplane when it loses control and begins a deadly descent. (Pan American, ears popping, turbulence, stewardess, etc.) Then he wakes up in the relative safety of a greyhound kickass solo too | |

| I don't think red needs to be interpreted literally, the color red usually implies danger, power (as in an explosive crash), etc. It reinforces and further defines the 'nightmarishness' | |

| I just bought some random King Crimson CD's after a recomendation and I am now a huge fan. They definitely rock hard... not exactly sure what this song refers to but the lyrics still make sense. | |
