THE LYRICS:
Counting stairs... watching time
Reach 30 he won't be mine
Digging skin... watch it crack
The illness of keeping track
Chorus:
Green arrow means you'll never win
Yellow's disappointment
Red means that he will not.
Its 2:00... at 2:03
If the floor's wet you'll die lonely
Ten hang-ups on his machine
The sickness of a routine
(chorus)
Five red cars driving by
Two more blue and you will die
Scored one million
With one thousand more
I'll get the life that I'm craving for...
(chorus)
Green light means he'll be your friend
The signals keep on changing
But the patterns do not end.
