The Red Light Lyrics by Joel Plaskett Emergency

Truthfully Truthfully

2003

Truthfully, truthfully, I don't understand
Why the red light's turning on again
Just because you look up doesn't mean it's got to rain
The red light's turning on again

It could be 100 years
It could take 1000
Don't waste a lifetime waiting in vain
I used to feel unlucky
Now I just feel strange
The red light's turning on again

Are you ready for the end of the world?
I'm not ready for the end of the world

Black clouds hang above my head
Don't get disillusioned yet
Don't wanna go to work
Don't wanna get out of bed
Don't get disillusioned yet

If you look up when they flip the switches
You can see the smoke from all my burning bridges
I got my ducks in a row
Trying to make my amends
Now the red light's turning on again
