Red lights in a rearview mirror Vengeance serving as gas But this monkey isn't getting nearer Like the carrot to the ass Seventeen years spent wishing to be older Every day since looking back To that fateful night when you told her Red lights cannot go black Never to be seen again Never to be seen again Never to be seen unless those red lights had gone out It's in your eyes, nocturnal fears Hollow words, drunken tears It’s the sound of deadlines whistling past your ears Never to be seen again Never to be seen again Never to be seen unless those red lights had gone out No one understands the way you are today And no one knows what you can turn into someday But no one never ever is to know No one never ever is to know, oh So you say, and this will go to show Never to be seen again Never to be seen again Never to be seen because your red lights won’t go out
