Red Light Red Lyrics by John G. McDaid

Proverbs of Hell

2019

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm rolling down the tunnel
I don't see nothing there but green
So I call up my controller
She's a friend I never seen
And I say, "Hey there pretty lady
What's the situation up ahead?"
She says, "You better slow down
There ain't no way around
They're using backhoes
To clear out the dead."
[Refrain]
Oh no, red light red
Oh no there's trouble up ahead
Oh no, red light red
Oh no there's trouble up ahead
There's trouble up ahead now
There's trouble up ahead now
[Verse 2]
Well I went to ask the Watchman
She looked just like Emily
I says, "What about mantra yoga
And quantum indeterminacy?"
She says, "Boy, don't you go fucking around with magic
And don't go messing with the past
'Cause you, if you ever find
A prayer to touch that mind
You'd just better hope it kills you fast."
[Refrain]
Oh no, red light red
Oh no there's trouble up ahead
Oh no, red light red
Oh no there's trouble up ahead
There's trouble up ahead now
There's trouble up ahead now
[Verse 3]
Well, there is a River out of Eden
And it runs down to the Sound
And we lie here crushed and beaten
In a fruitless search for higher ground
In the back I hear them crying
"Is all lost, or can we win?"
We hang beset by doubt, ten miles out
Way below the glide slope, headin in
[Outro]
Oh no, red light red
Oh no, there's trouble up ahead
Trouble up ahead now
Trouble up ahead now
