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 [bad word] 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...
