Track Insight / Lyrics
Greyhounding after midnight, neon puddles lap the sole
Fading motel signs, southbound solo till I'm whole
Flickering lights, dreams ignite, would-be clients go cold
Battered compass drift, finds a parking lot where the night unfolds
Weekend warriors asleep, in rooms with numbered beds
Portable clinics, hookers on the down-low head as they tread
Tattooed tough guys, thugs with hearts of gold softly bleed
Their restless lives, in this place, are like my lonesome creed
Neon lapse, neon tenancies fade
I cast my vote, in this electric haze
Neon lapse, fading shadows race
In this parking lot, it's just another place
Reformed street hustlers, early risers break their trance
Sipping coffee in the dawn, as the neon's final dance
Southern drawls mingle with accents, of distant homelands now
Tales of love and loss, in the dying embers' glow
Neon lapse, neon tenancies fade
I cast my vote, in this electric haze
Neon lapse, fading shadows race
In this parking lot, it's just another place
In the greys of morning's hush, shadows crawl back in their lairs
The city's pulse, a distant hum, begins to stir and share
As I close my eyes, the neon dreams, the city's neon scars
It's a fleeting life, in this perpetual dusk that we are
Neon lapse, neon tenancies fade
I cast my vote, in this electric haze
Neon lapse, fading shadows race
In this parking lot, it's just another place
Greyhounding after midnight, neon puddles lap the sole
Fading motel signs, southbound solo, to where my heart now roams
