Red Lights

Lisa Stansfield


You stop on a red light, your life starts again on green 
You watch all the colours then fall back into a dream 
There's headlights behind you, they flash out a silver surprise 
You go for the hand brake, there's madness behind your eyes 
Chorus: 
The road goes on for mile and miles 
You rush 'cos you haven't got the time 
Stop, stop, stop for the red light 
Yay, yay, yay is for the green 
One, one, one I'm on a blue light 
Keep your licence clean 

He flicks on the amber, a machine gun in all but name 
You push down the lever, well, two can play that game 
As red lights rush by you they're vivid and red as blood 
The chase makes you feel so good 

The road goes on for mile and miles 
You rush 'cos you haven't got the time 
Don't, don't don't go on a red light 
Yay, yay, yay is for the green 
One, one, one I'm on a blue light 
Keep your licence clean 

The flash lines are flowing, streaking by so fast 
Signposts are flying and grey rain is slanting past 
The colours are spinning, a pain on the side of your face 
And blackness surrounds you, you finally lost the race 

The road goes on for mile and miles 
You rush 'cos you haven't got the time 
Don't, don't don't go on a red light 
Yay, yay, yay wait for the green 
One, one, one I'm on a blue light 
Keep your licence clean
