Wet concrete reflects the blue
Silver paws and a heavy dew
Cold wind cuts through a narrow street
Rhythmic beat of four tired feet
Copper collar starts to shake
Searching for a bond to break
City humming like a hive
Just to feel the night alive
Neon Hound in the midnight haze
Walking through a velvet maze
Golden eyes in the electric glow
Watching all the strangers go
Chrome facades and a plastic scent
Bending low where the alley bent
He finds a scrap of old red silk
Cloudy water tasting like milk
Copper collar starts to shake
Searching for a bond to break
City humming like a hive
Just to feel the night alive
Neon Hound in the midnight haze
Walking through a velvet maze
Golden eyes in the electric glow
Watching all the strangers go
Step by step on the blackened tile
Tracking scents for a lonely mile
Salty air from the harbor bay
Turning blue to a charcoal grey
Neon Hound in the midnight haze
Walking through a velvet maze
Golden eyes in the electric glow
Watching all the strangers go
Stoplight turns to a sudden green
Fastest blur that I've ever seen
He doesn't bark and he doesn't run
Underneath a hidden sun
Neon Hound in the midnight haze
Walking through a velvet maze
Golden eyes in the electric glow
Watching all the strangers go
Warmth arrives from a sliding door
He doesn't wander the street no more
Softened breath on a woolen rug
Tighter than a winter hug
Neon Hound in the midnight haze
Walking through a velvet maze
Golden eyes in the electric glow
Watching all the strangers go
Golden eyes.
In the glow.
Settle down.
Let it go.
