lyrics

you found your last attraction
a way of making shortcuts for yourself
the red light way of life
walking on pins and needles

that's no way to live
stay steady and avoid a disaster
by seeing what i mean
and being a decent human being

it's your art of perfecting bad luck
that i'll never get to see again
