THE RED LIGHTS

Racing right through the red lights of Majorca
Rumanian girls and rock rats who just can't find a bed
I still remember - I know I ought to
The last words sleepy Snow White said as I felt

There's a full moon tonight and it's raining
Restaurants are open - you go get something to eat
I said I'm not hungry I'm just empty can't you see that
Oh you married men get no peace

Can you hear me? Or am I all alone
Can you hear me? Or am I all alone

So I took off my boots knelt down on the prayer rug
I said God I guess you spared me one more time
God said listen up Jack I don't enforce your regulations
But I'll catch up with you down the line

My ears are ringing something set my alarm off
What they could steal from me remains my mystery
I give more away then I'm supposed
Oh the road to sainthood is so slippery

Can you hear me? Or am I all alone
Can you hear me? Or am I all alone

She said for a man who hates to travel you been around some
I said for a girl who hates to write you sure can talk
Now I'm sitting in the bathroom just like Elvis
Blind as a bat and I'm watching you like a hawk

I miss my true love I always miss her
I miss her when I'm awake - I miss her when I sleep
I try to fill the hole with restless nonsense
Until I put my arms around her when we meet

Can you hear me? Or am I all alone
Can you hear me? Wait while I move my telephone
