The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The red lights mean you're leaving
The white one's mean returning
Te-tell me how this story ends
And I'll keep them fires burning, ha
The headlights look like diamonds
The taillights burn like coals
Tell me how this story ends
Before the fires go cold, ha
Tchu, tchu...
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
The countryside's deserted
There's no one on the farms
The suburbs all are sleeping
The earthquakes set off car alarms
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
All after all now we aware
All after all the time we share
There's so much fears of world
Types of world, tears of world
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh (type of world), uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh
Hum, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh (type of world), uh
Hoh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hoh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hoh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hoh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (type of world), oh
Hoh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hoh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hoh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hoh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
