From the recording See the Lights LP1
You are waiting for the traffic lights to change. You hear a booming bass and loud music coming from behind and a car shoots across the red light. This is the image - recklessness, and how someone who seems to have no fear encourages others to do the same. Life is a race which you must win. So - feel alive, take chances and have the adrenalin rush; or be more sensible and stay alive?

Lyrics
Are you as strong as you think you are?
Or is it an illusion behind the wheel of your car?
Life in the fast lane. Full speed ahead
Warning a distant memory. All is green in your head
Didn’t see the red light. Didn’t look, didn’t care
Nothing matters. The rush of wind in your hair
Didn’t see the red light. Staring you in the face
The chequered flag. Start and end of the race
You’ll do anything to feel alive
And cut every corner to do more than survive
Every colour from green to red
You don’t care, that’s what you said
You said to me. “Set yourself free!
Come with me, forget the red light”
Didn’t see the red light. Didn’t look, didn’t care
Nothing matters. The rush of wind in your hair
Didn’t see the red light. Staring you in the face
The chequered flag. Start and end of the race
