"Red light"

Two can be complete without the rest of the world

Two can be complete without the rest of the world

Do it for the people that have died for your sake

An entire generation that has nothing to say

How'd you make your way to me?

Oh, let's say you made a deal with me

And I got your name and your home address

Oh, you're all trashed up with your big red belt

I would almost say that you might need help

I could drop you off at the next red light

If it don't make sense, or it don't feel right

All the girls could never make me love them the way I love you

Can't you see the sky is not the limit no more?

I can see the elevator crash through the floor

I can still see yesterday sailing away

Seven billion people who got nothing to say

Are you coming on to me?

Oh, I saw your face, then I heard that song

It was so inviting it hurt my bones

Well, it looks like you, but your eyes are gray

And your hair is gone, but your mind's okay

Yes, I like your smile, but your forehead's cold

I don't want you to be afraid and go

I would cheat and lie and steal, now I'll stay at home and kneel for you

I was waiting for my baby to arrive

Right by my side

Oh, please leave me alone tonight

Forget the past

Two can be complete without the rest of the world

Oh, you know I said it just to get you to laugh

Do it for the people that have died for your sake

An entire generation of entertainers to blame

The light is red, the camera's on

Get yourself a lawyer and a gun

Hate your friend's new friends like everyone

Childhood's end can be so competitive

Oh, the sky's not the limit and you're never gonna guess what is, oh
