i’m on an island at a busy intersection
i can’t go forward, i can’t turn back
can’t see the future
it’s getting away from me
i just watch the tail lights glowing
one step closer to knowing...

u2

the day matches the times. gray, foggy, dreary. if sadness had a color, this would be it. no solidness, just vapors. it's tough to get a hold of and, sometimes, what is the use. if the lesson is to teach, we're at your mercy. we're on our knees...

and it's difficult to concentrate on dosage and calculations when the real numbers are flesh and blood. and it's too hard to follow directions, when the test has already been failed.

and the elephants and cows, the birds and monkeys...they know what arrogant man doesn't. and sister tragedy drags along compassion, teaches how to quietly smother hatred, for at least a little while, until it's time to change the channel and pop the microwave dinner to start.

here and now
and that is all.

    You sing a song
    While sitting at a red light
    You think of home
    While sitting at a red light

    Too slow to roll
    Put your life on hold
    An open path
    With nowhere to go
    You start to wonder
    While sitting at a red light

    You can run a red light
    Give up at a red light
    You break the mold
    When running through the tolls
    Speeding through your whole life

    A chance to breathe
    While sitting at a red light
    You look around
    reflecting on your life

    A chance to think
    Am I drinkning too much
    Should I keep going
    Lose the life that I love
    A second glance
    When coming to a red light

    You can run a red light
    Give up at a red light
    You break the mold
    When running through the tolls
    Speeding through your whole life

    When things look low
    You've gotta keep stong
    Feet to the grass
    You've gotta walk it off
    The bows been tied
    Too tight to laugh
    Feet to the ground
    You've gotta walk it off

    You can run a red light
    You can run a red light

    Start to think
    Am I drinkning too much
    Should I keep going
    Lose the life that I love

    You can run a red light
    Give up at a red light
    You break the mold
    When running through the tolls
    Speeding through your whole life

    You can run a red light
    Give up at a red light
    You break the mold
    When running through the tolls
    Speeding through your whole life

    You can run a red light
    You can run a red light

    You sing a song
    While sitting at a red light
