Track Insight / Lyrics
Coffee curls in a chipped cup, lukewarm
City lights blend in blurry parade
Taxi's meter's ticking, spinning round
Dust motes drift, fading in the air
As dawn approaches, the night's sweet release
Insomnia's a burden, as engines start to hum
The driver's world, away from the street's leakage
Of stories unfolding elsewhere, in someone's room
Into the neon, into the neon
Chasing shadows of fleeting dreams
As the world inside my unofficial room
Starts to fade, I'll ride and it seems
Empty bottles gather, crumpled up receipts
A scattered mess of someone's secret life
I've seen cities rise and cities greet
In rearview mirrors, moments left behind
As dawn approaches, the night's sweet release
Insomnia's a burden, as engines start to hum
The driver's world, away from the street's leakage
Of stories unfolding elsewhere, in someone's room
Into the neon, into the neon
Chasing shadows of fleeting dreams
As the world inside my unofficial room
Starts to fade, I'll ride and it seems
Late-night fares, whispered secrets shared
Stolen glances, hands on laps and thighs
Driving through cities, cities that care
No place to call my own in the night
As dawn approaches, the night's sweet release
Insomnia's a burden, as engines start to hum
The driver's world, away from the street's leakage
Of stories unfolding elsewhere, in someone's room
Maybe I should find my place in the fight
A story to call my own, a life to ignite
But ride I will, through neon and through night
In this taxi cab, my world's lit
Into the neon, into the neon
Chasing shadows of fleeting dreams
As the world inside my unofficial room
Starts to fade, I'll ride and it seems
Static hisses in the induction coil
Dust motes fade, and neon's pale
I'll drive and dream and let the world unfold
Into the neon, as one more night grows old.
