Track Insight / Lyrics
She steps out into the misty dawn
Geiger clicks all around, they don't make her born
To the bridge in the Exclusion Zone
Where the neon puddles seem to glow
Rain-slick pavement she's walking on
Felt soles squelch with every step she's gone
Dust motes dance as the lamp lights flare
A kaleidoscope in the Exclusion air
Motes alive, neon alive, all around
A canvas of colors, heat from the ground
In the neon puddles, she's finally found
The heartbeat of the Zone, spinning round
Hiding from the watchful eyes on high
In this abandoned world, she's just a stride
By the crumbling diner where she used to work
Life in the shadows, furtive, quick and smirk
Motes alive, neon alive, all around
A canvas of colors, heat from the ground
In the neon puddles, she's finally found
The heartbeat of the Zone, spinning round
Snare crack, cowbell tingle
Funk bass slaps, horns start to jingle
Sneaking past the men in hazmat suits
Through the shadows cast by flickering street lights
She finds her solace in the neon haze
A fleeting freedom from the radioactive maze
Motes alive, neon alive, all around
A canvas of colors, heat from the ground
In the neon puddles, she's finally found
The heartbeat of the Zone, spinning round
In the puddle's glow, she starts to sway
A siren's call, to dance another day
Forget the dangers, forget the pain
Let the funk take her, let her soul regain
Motes alive, neon alive, all around
A canvas of colors, heat from the ground
In the neon puddles, she's finally found
The heartbeat of the Zone, spinning round
As sun rises high, the mist begins to clear
The click-tick rhythm blends with morning's vibration here
She'll return again, beneath the neon night
Where motes alive keep on dancing, feeling alright.
