Running, running red lights
Red lights, red lights
I been running red lights
To get to you
Running, running red lights
Where you been running all night?
I been running the red lights
Boom, boom, boom
I'm a thundercloud
Ready to burst, like Schrödinger
I'm crying in the car
An invalid, I'm off the grid
Hans is looking for Liesel
Living in Union Square
Shoot this rabid canine
Something's gone horribly wrong
Running, running red lights
Red lights, red lights
I been running red lights
To get to you
Running, running red lights
Where you been running all night?
I been running the red lights
Boom, boom, boom
I'm a thundercloud
Ready to burst, like Schrödinger
I'm crying in the car
An invalid, I'm off the grid
Hans is looking for Liesel
Living in Union Square
Shoot this rabid canine
Something's gone horribly wrong
Running, running red lights
Red lights, red lights
I been running red lights
To get to you
Running, running red lights
Where you been running all night?
I been running the red lights
Boom, boom, boom
The light of my life is going out tonight
In a pink champagne Corvette
The light in my life is going out tonight
Without a flicker of regret (Without a flicker of regret, dude)
I sleep three feet above the street
In a pink champagne Corvette
Fly out into space
Listen to the music
The stars are making
Without a flicker of regret
California life is alright with me
California life is alright with me
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are all we have
|-|Demo=
Lighting up the sky
You twist my neck, doppler effect
A damaged aileron
Something's gone, horribly wrong
Hans is looking for Liesel
Living in Union Square
Shoot this rabid canine
He's over it, he's over it
Running, running red lights
Red lights, red lights
I been running red lights
To get to you
Running, running red lights
Where you been running all night?
I been running the red lights
Boom, boom, boom
I'm a thundercloud
Ready to burst, like Schrödinger
I'm crying in the car
An invalid, I'm off the grid
Hans is looking for Liesel
Living in Union Square
Shoot this rabid canine
He's over it, he's over it
Running, . . .
Taking a cab to Canada, leaving the life that I was living
Welcome to the underworld, dig a little deeper dig a little deeper
Taking a cab to Canada, leaving the life that I was living
Welcome to the underworld, dig a little deeper dig a little deeper
California life is alright with me
California life is alright with me
We are, we are, we are all we have
California life is alright with me
