Red Light - Ramsey

It’s a mean bright red light

I used to sit alone and watch the cars drive by

He’d come into the room to watch me cry

Then leave me

It’s a cold dark heavy lie

Show me all the ways I can tell it right

I never knew what I’d have to hide

Until I met you

Shame on my desire

Look at what it made me do

Getting down every night

Steal and lie for you

I can see you aim high

You got me so close

Giving me high hopes

In the middle of the life I dreamt up

And the life I chose

It’s mean bright red light

I used to sit beneath and pray that time passed by

He’d come into the room to get me high and feed me

It’s a cold dark empty life

Tell me all the ways I can live it right

I never knew what it meant to die

Until I met you

Shame on my desire

Look at what it made me do

Getting down every night

Steal and lie for you

I can see you aim high

You got me so close

Giving me high hopes

In the middle of the life I dreamt up

And the life I chose
