Lyrics
The Red Light Is On
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.
I'm - gonna sit back and watch the movie for a while
Cause the happy ending always makes me smile
Give me a make out scene
Give me a shallow stream
You're a dissolving dream
I don't know why the dealers are the healers
I don't know why you do the things you've done
And what goes around can surely come around
When the red light's on
When the red light's on
You never come around unless you get blues
You never get me but you got me so confused
And if you start again,
I'll always be that kind of friend
Who let's you down in the end
I don't know why the dealers are the healers
I don't know why you do the things you've done
And what goes around can surely come around
When the red light's on
When the red light's on
Making an entrance
Like the golden child
I'll never understand what drives them wild
If what goes around will surely come around
You're in trouble now
I don't know why the dealers are the healers
I don't know why you do the things you've done
And what goes around can surely come around
When the red light's on
When the red light is on
