orway - when the red light is on lyrics
[verse 1]
surrounded by the smoke from her cigarette
she stands on the sidewalk in the red light of sunset
as the sun goes down, turned on one by one
the red lights shine through the windows all around
[chorus]
when the red light is on
her mind is somewhere else
when the red light is on
she dreams she’s someone else
[verse 2]
when she was young she was such a pretty woman
but her life started wrong she’s been doing what she can
she had no other option than the red light district
short dress, tight shirt and lipstick whatever the season
[chorus]
when the red light is on
her mind is somewhere else
when the red light is on
she dreams she’s someone else
[verse 3]
for so many years she’s been in the game
satisfying louses and dirty old men
now she wears the marks of all those nights
of so many red lights turned on in the dark
[chorus]
when the red light is on
her mind is somewhere else
when the red light is on
she dreams she’s someone else
