Track Insight / Lyrics
Antony's on the 24-hour clock
Repairman, washing clothes in the lock
He tinkers with the phone lines tight
While the rain weeps through the endless night
Like heaven's tears on his dampened soul
As he rebuilds, for things untold
In the humming neon's electric glow
He finds solace, his world aglow
The ghostly lights, a spectral show
A fleeting refuge, where he can go
Neon in the rain, a rhythmic refrain
Pulses through him, a siren's strain
Beneath the shimmering veil of night
A broken man, finding his light
Droplets cling to his worn leather hand
As he tends to the telephone land
A relic of a life left behind
Now serving as a second skin tied
To strangers' woes, their joys, their cries
In this beloved, forsaken place, he lies
In the humming neon's electric glow
He finds solace, his world aglow
The ghostly lights, a spectral show
A fleeting refuge, where he can go
Neon in the rain, a rhythmic refrain
Pulses through him, a siren's strain
Beneath the shimmering veil of night
A broken man, finding his light
Perhaps tonight, in this endless flow
Of water, wires, and shades of blue and glow
He'll mend the pieces, make them whole
Until the dawn breaks, and he's lost control
Of the memories, the ghosts he's known
In this sanctuary, his heart laid low
Neon in the rain, a symphony plays
A lullaby, his life's worn-out ways
Beneath the shimmering curtain of night
A weary soul, embracing his new light
Neon pulses soft, the rain subsides
As Antony closes up, and quietly hides
In this world of strangers, he finds his home
Where the neon heart beats, and his story's told.
