Back off Beware
There are no green lights
Anywhere
At every turn
Flags wave in my face
Searching high and low
For the chance to go
I'm a captive in this place
I've been running on marbles
Swimming through quicksand
I keep looking for signals
So tired of being trapped
Man I can’t find an exit
No escape in sight
The only thing to do
Is to break the rules
I've gotta run a red light
~~*~~
Electric storms
So I cannot fly
They've dammed the rivers
Now the water’s high
Danger on the foot trails
Snow up on the pass
All the doors are locked
And the guns are cocked
So the rules must be surpassed
~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
I've gotta run a red light
All legal tries have failed
Pour on the gas, and get out fast
Like the law is on my tail
Burn rubber, I won't hesitate
Wheels screaming in the night
Man forget about the green ones
I've gotta run a red light
~~*~~
~~~*Chorus*~~~
I've been running on marbles
Swimming through quicksand
I keep looking for signals
So tired of being trapped
Man I can’t find an exit
No escape in sight
The only thing to do
Is to break the rules
I've gotta run a red light
