Red Asphalt Lyrics - Singles - Theatre Of Ice

(Brian Johnson/Raleigh Planty/Tony Payton) 

Put on your gloves, put on your shoes 

Hit the streets as the daylight fades 

A million eyes from windows stare 

As the roar fills the air 

Young girls with needles for eyes 

Smile like cats as you cruise by 

They lick their lips and stroke their hair 

Their faces lost in the headlights' glare 

In the street a young girl lies 

Another animal prepared to die 

Blood pours down her blackened tongue 

Life is so wasted on the young 

Shadows grow then swiftly die away 

Cities rise then fall to decay 

Outside the blood pours like rain 

But inside you still feel no pain 

Along the street where the garbage is piled 

A young mother searches for her child 

Another sees how it feels 

When her brain tastes cold hard steel 

Red lights flash in your mirror 

As the end of the road draws near 

A flash of fire ignites the sky 

Are you really prepared to die
