Track Insight / Lyrics
Coaster trays dry in the diner lights, 3am, a vacant booth
Where I sit a clockmaker's apprentice
hands swinging just like in my youth
The hands of those analog monsters
tell stories of past time's passage
But when it's quit beating the midnight hour, you can't tell where I've been racin'
Time loses meaning when dawn's a dot, and stars still shine where roads are not
Stranded here, with shadows as my friends, wonder if I'll ever journey to the end
Neon lovers' lane, a fleeting ride, hands entwined, side by side
Neon lovers' lane, a dream playthrough, shadows dance, but we won't be blue
Neon lovers' lane, a silent pact, between two hearts that won't look back
Whispers echo from the neon glow, a secret ritual, few will ever know
Velvet blackness wraps around the town, only the beat of hearts keeps turning around
Neon lovers' lane hand in hand
tearing up the asphalt our escape plan
Neon lovers' lane, on the run, chasing the sunrise, before the dawn is won
Coffee flows like the morning dew, the waitress knows my story too
A serial dreamer, chasing time's relapse, forever searching for that perfect glimpse
Of a love that's real, that's pure and true, amidst the plastic, the chrome, the "I'll be through"
Time loses meaning when dawn's a dot
and stars still shine where roads are not
Stranded here, with shadows as my friends, wonder if I'll ever journey to the end
Neon lovers' lane, a fleeting ride, hands entwined, side by side
Neon lovers' lane, a dream playthrough, shadows dance, but we won't be blue
Neon lovers' lane, a silent pact, between two hearts that won't look back
Whispers echo from the neon glow
a secret ritual few will ever know
Velvet blackness wraps around the town, only the beat of hearts keeps turning around
Neon lovers' lane, hand in hand, tearing up the asphalt, our escape plan
Neon lovers' lane, on the run, chasing the sunrise, before the dawn is won
In this showdown with the city's sprawl, with pavement stretched and time stood still
Two hearts entwined, racing in unison, until the break of day's first light
Neon lovers' lane, forever sealed, our promise to this endless speed
Neon lovers' lane, till we saw goodbye, a love that's wild and fly
As the first light creeps over the signs, a photograph in shifting lines
Of a fleeting dream that had to be, 'cause neon lovers' lanes can't be reality
