Track Insight / Lyrics
In railroad yards where shadows play
A moth with pale wings drifts away
Through fog, through night, through streets alive
Neon puddles paint the rail side
(Wings flutter, sparks of light)
I see the world in streaks of white
(Sparkling synths enter)
Still searching for the dawn's first light
But in the darkness, I find my thrill
A heartbeat rushing, electrified still
By whispers of the open tracks ahead
Where unknown cities beckon, and the night's not dead
Neon Drifters, lost in the haze
Forever chasing break of day
Through tunnels dark and walls of sleep
Neon Drifters, our hearts on the leap
Steel bridges arch, a midnight dream
Ghost trains pass with a mournful scream
In the fog, a secret's laid to rest
And I awake in city's distant nest
(Fog horns blow, sparks fly high)
In neon's glow, I touch the sky
(Expansive synths swell)
My moth wings beat to a city's symphony
But in the darkness, I find my thrill
A heartbeat rushing, electrified still
By whispers of the open tracks ahead
Where unknown cities beckon, and the night's not dead
Neon Drifters, lost in the haze
Forever chasing break of day
Through tunnels dark and walls of sleep
Neon Drifters, our hearts on the leap
I dance through fog, a fleeting flash
Streaks of light on a living glass
Each city's heartbeat in my ears
I'm chasing dawn, cold and clear
Neon Drifters, lost in the haze
Forever chasing break of day
Through tunnels dark and walls of sleep
Neon Drifters, our hearts on the leap
(Soft bass hum fades to black, then vanishes)
(The song ends with the answer of a distant fog horn)
