Running Red Lights

and as we ride by traffic signs tonight

well sing and scream the anthems of our youth

doing 20 over and running these red lights

were only searching for a little bit of truth

breaking rules to test the boundaries

ignoring standards to see what we can do

blowing off any form of conscience

on this road just me and you

as billy idol calls out "rebel yell"

and corgan croons out "tonight tonight"

with the music loud and moving a bit too fast

everything just seems to feel alright

Wow. This feels as though it's been stripped down of any pretence and all thats left is striking truth.

They were my favourite lines. I love reading your stuff.
