Running Lights
SONATA ARCTICA · Pariah's Child 2014 · Track 02 of 11
Written by Tony Kakko
The sunset will make the night, He feels the road with the headlights He's one of the wilder kind, In his yellow and red skyline
Young man... and... his... fast car Squeezing... the wheel... Knuckles white
Speeding, turning, sliding, drifting Deeper in his bucket seat, running all the lights With the girl of his dreams
And they enter the night when The young ones need no sleep Laughing at the lights they keep running Becoming color of the night When the song on the Radio sings "such a perfect day" Tomorrow slowly fades away
The world only ends once in one life time These nights of the young last forever Around and around, with the clearing smoke These days drift away altogether
The peak of the perfect times The sunrise always ruins the night
Racing... for one... final kiss Drifting... away... don't touch... the wheel!
Turn left, slide right, Initial G -feel Deeper in the redline, Screaming louder underneath
And they enter the night when The young ones need no sleep Laughing at the lights they keep running Becoming color of the night When the song on the Radio sings "such a perfect day" Tomorrow slowly fades away
World only ends once in one life time These nights of the young last forever Around and around, with the clearing smoke These days drift away altogether
Once in a while night's a full lifetime These nights of the young last forever Around and around, with the clearing smoke These days drift away in the shades of time
