COMMENTS
Tie-Dye is a way of dyeing clothes popular in the 60s. You tie the cloth together so the dye doesn't get to all parts of the surface, untie and re-tie so the next color gets to different parts etc... In the end you get something very colorful and psychedelic-looking. Tie-Dye and Tyed are about the same song with different titles.

LYRICS

The sheet that was cut
Caught the blood
Was opened
The sheet that was cut
Caught the blood
Was opened and dried
Sheet that was cut and caught the blood
Was opened and dried
And stretched out
Sheet that was cut and caught the blood
Was opened, dried and stretched out
Hung on the wall

The sheet that was cut
Caught the blood
Was opened
The sheet that was cut
Caught the blood
Was opened and dried
Sheet that was cut and caught the blood
Was opened and dried
And stretched out
Sheet that was cut and caught the blood
Was opened, dried and stretched out
Hung on the wall
