Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon haze on night's dark stage
Sydney's lights flicker neon cage
City sleeps, except the harbor lights
Ferry's wheels keen on the midnight tides
I stand on deck, deckhand's work beside
Rust eats at the railing, skin to hide
The harbor river, a solitary stream
Reflects the city's pulse in neon dreams
Only me awake, while the town slumbers deep
In the heart of Sydney, I count the neon's beat
Neon lonesome, on the midnight ride
Hollow neon, my lonely pride
Ferry's engine hum, a melancholy sigh
Neon lonesome, as the city passes by
Cold metal on my skin, against my bones
The lights of points of sale, in lonely rows
Lights in every window, dancing across the night
But in this quiet deck, beneath the vast city lights
Massive chord hits, and the rhythm starts
With every beat, a longing in my heart
Neon lights and lonely dreams, trapped on this ride
Ferry's wheels keep turning, through the Sydney night
Taxi heads home, to suburbia's sleep
Pasengers shiver, to the morning's creep
But I stay awake, on the harbor's edge
Counting the neon signs, as the dawn approaches
The harbor river, a solitary stream
Reflects the city's pulse in neon dreams
Only me awake, while the town starts to stir
In the heart of Sydney, I count the neon's error
Neon lonesome, on the midnight ride
Hollow neon, my lonely pride
Ferry's engine hum, a melancholy sigh
Neon lonesome, as the city wakes inside
Shoulder to the rail, I stare into the void
A million lights no match, for the emptiness inside
I'm just a tiny speck, in Sydney's neon tide
But in this solitude, I've found my own stride
The city wakes, the ferry docks
Neon lights extinguish, into the morning's shock
I step ashore, into the new day's light
Leaving the night's lonesome neon, fading out of sight
Neon dreams, neon pride
Hollow, on the harbor side
Ferry's engine hum, in my memory stays
Neon lonesome, in the Sydney haze.
