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... (2x)
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... (4x)

Piros001's picking up on the two similar lines in "Red Mosquito" and "I'm Open" are every clever..... Clearly there is a correlation between the two and it surely reflects the experimental nature of No Code.....
This song is about Eddie's food poisoning incident... eddie was forced off stage at a show in front of about 60,000 people in a free concert because of his food poisoning... Neil Young Filled in for him for 4 whole hours but it was this incident that cast Ed and Pearl Jam as unappreciative of their fans.... and therefore probably forged the experimentation of No Code.... Thank God for that little Red Mosquito.....
