[Intro]
Dee-dee, deedeedee
Dee dee dee dee
Dee dee dee dedededee

[Chorus]
Green light, red light
Flickers swingin' by the moon
Flood lights, street lights
On a breezy afternoon
Ashtrays, ashtrays
Fillin' up, it's gone too soon, it's
Burnin' out, it's burnin' out
Green light, red light
Flickers swingin' by the moon
Flood lights, street lights
On a breezy afternoon
Ashtrays, ashtrays
Fillin' up, it's gone too soon, it's
Burnin' out, it's burnin' out

[Verse 1]
There's smoke up in the air
I smell it everywhere
I never saw where it came from, didn't need to care
Got day drunk by the lake
While sat on Kevin's car
Out by the strip mall, sippin' sweet tea
'Till the sky went dark, man
It's all we ever had
And now it's all we ever wanted
On rusty shocks we sailed
Down roads the apps left uncharted
We ripped hits from the bong
Played Smash and Donkey Kong
Graffitied up an old garage, now I don't have a lawn
Now you take trains to see me
Soon you'll need planes to see me
Ain't it so plain to see?
We should have stayed in the mirage
[Chorus]
Green light, red light
Flickers swingin' by the moon
Flood lights, street lights
On a breezy afternoon
Ashtrays, ashtrays
Fillin' up, it's gone too soon, it's
Burnin' out, it's burnin' out
Green light, red light
Flickers swingin' by the moon
Flood lights, street lights
On a breezy afternoon
Ashtrays, ashtrays
Fillin' up, it's gone too soon, it's
Burnin' out, it's burnin' out

[Verse 2]
And I try to fight my thoughts, like "en garde"
But it's rainin' in my head more than the boulevard
Even when the sky clears, there's no stars
I'm a hometown hero without a backyard
But I'm floored by the lonely nights
How am I supposed to think back to the porch with my Arizona
[?] the headlights
[?] weeknight
Put your paper in my hand
Chasin' dreams all with my friends
Now the dreams are real
And my friends aren't there
And the path ain't clear
No dirt roads there
And now the scars are deep
One cig I'll smoke this week
How am I supposed to see
When fire go to sleep?
When my girl's overseas?
The water level, up and down
[?] the leaves
Under traffic lights, switchin' like
[Chorus]
Green light, red light
Flickers swingin' by the moon
Flood lights, street lights
On a breezy afternoon
Ashtrays, ashtrays
Fillin' up, it's gone too soon, it's
Burnin' out, it's burnin' out
Green light, red light
Flickers swingin' by the moon
Flood lights, street lights
On a breezy afternoon
Ashtrays, ashtrays
Fillin' up, it's gone too soon, it's
Burnin' out, it's burnin' out

[Outro]
Green light, red light
Flickers swingin' by the moon
Flood lights, street lights
On a breezy afternoon
Ashtrays, ashtrays
Fillin' up, it's gone too soon, it's
Burnin' out, it's burnin' out
(We both know we
Can't control this
Mess we've made so far
Can't hold on to the dead leaves forever
Jump and watch it all fall apart)
Green light, red light
