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
