Well he came to town with a strong pull
Would flash his moves for the worshipful
Shoulder moves from side to side
Go over your head and dot your eyes
Every night about a quarter to ten

People would gather from miles around
To see the mighty Rainbow knock 'em down
He'd pull up from around the back

Fancy shirts and shorts of plaid
Coat of more colors than Joseph had
Every night about a quarter to ten

Red light, green light,
speedin' trough the dark night,
drivin' trough the poundin' rain
I gotta see Jane
Windshield, wiper splashin',
splashin', callin' out her name
Just gotta see Jane
I left her arms to find my way
To find a place for me in the world outsid
I wasn't alive, I could not survive
The frantic pace, the constant chase
to win the race, turned my heart cold inside
I gotta find what I left behind
Red light, green light,
speedin' through the dark night,
drivin' through the poundin' rain,
