Theatre Of Ice - Red Asphalt lyrics

(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 ---------------------------------------------------
