Grid Lock Prayer (version 2)

Intro

Red hold. Red hold.

Count the seconds. None arrive.

Verse

Sensor under the tarmac, waits for weight

Nothing moves so nothing changes state

Eight lanes still, engines low

White line painted, nowhere to go

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the signal turns

Tell me if it's turned before

Tell me if this junction hears me

Or it's just the same closed door

Chorus

Grid lock prayer

Hands on the wheel, going nowhere

Grid lock prayer

Red light says stay right there

Verse

Camera blinks, logs the wait

Counts the cars that hesitate

Timer resets, starts again

Same junction, same amen

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the signal turns

Tell me if it's turned before

Tell me if this junction hears me

Or it's just the same closed door

Chorus

Grid lock prayer

Hands on the wheel, going nowhere

Grid lock prayer

Red light says stay right there

Bridge

Green comes

Nobody moves

Foot won't lift

Still counting proof

Chorus

Grid lock prayer

Hands on the wheel, going nowhere

Grid lock prayer

Red light says stay right there

Outro

Red hold.

Red hold.

Still red.
