When miguel hit the ground
I threw the padlock in the trash
Finally found out
Just how much it takes
For one whole year he spent
Making me turn red
Forget the light ahead
Forget the light ahead
Did I come to meet
The felon in my head?
He's been stretching me
Right up on the racks
For years it's been the same
Ignoring all the facts
Forget the light ahead
Forget the light ahead
It'll all live on
Hiding from the moon
Under a live oak tree
How could I forgive
What you said to me?
Sure as the sun will rise
You pay the penance in your bed
Forget the light ahead
Forget the light ahead
It'll all live on
We gotta leave at three
Take the highway round the bend
Holding on to memories
Never let a good night end
But as the morning came
I can't remember what I said
Forget the light ahead
Forget the light ahead
It'll all live on
