Red and Blue Lights

by Anywhere Welcomes You

on Houses & Humans (2020)

[Verse 1]
I see the red and blue lights
I wonder if I'll escape this one with my life
Or is it my time to die?
I wonder if I should run?
If I stay and plead my case will they say that I possess a gun?
Will they rob me of life?

[Chorus 1]
Death takes on a false protective face
It cuts us down with disregard and not a shred of shame
Could this be my time? Will my corpse descend tonight?
Will you remember my name?

[Verse 2]
I see the red and blue lights
I wonder if I'll need to push and fight
Will they kill me on sight?
My hands are on ten and two
I force a fake smile, say "how do you do?"
And I... I try not to cry

[Chorus 2]
'Cause death takes on a false protective face
It cuts us down with disregard and not a shred of shame
Could this be my time? Will my corpse descend tonight?
Will you remember my name?

[Verse 3]
I see the red and blue lights
My heart beats so fast like a cannon or crash unforeseen
Can they hear my heartbeat?
There's so much sweat on my brow
Should I wipe it away, will that provoke the sound
Of the end of my life?

[Chorus 3]
'Cause death takes on a false protective face
It cuts us down with disregard and not a shred of shame
Could this be my time? Will my corpse descend tonight?
Will you remember my name?
