The red light shines for someone else Someone new Rocket scientists have someone else Someone new The last time that i waited here I was left cold and afraid So if you wake i'll wait right here And i'll rain on your parade You're someone else You're someone new The traffic lights and film makers are out of sight Let's shut it down No one sees any pictures in this town I'll make you proud By capturing rocket scientists and bringing them down You wanted it, you wanted it But no one has a rocket You wanted it But no one wants to shoot you into space And now you're stuck with a broken ten-speed bike You wanted it, you wanted it But now we're out of luck and out of fuel She said to the king: you've grown a beard like fidel Referring to the former cuban leader To which the king replied: i'm changing my look She said to the king: you wear shoes like obama Referring to the former us president To which the king replied: i was always a fan If this is all you have to offer now With a tin can and a wall of gasoline I'm gonna burn out all of your office space And the red light is the last you'll ever see A curtain call and house arrest The long hour in between You're the whitest boy alive And the red light is the last you'll ever see
