Vinyl booth holds a cracked leather spine
Page corners curled from years of midnight wine
Grease pencil marks the order eggs runny white
Regular smiles says same as every night
Notebook opens to a soaked alley scene
Chrome reflections bleed in gasoline
Two voices rise where the streetlights lean
Neon Notebook pages glow in rain
Midnight diner memories sustain
Chrome and leather stories intertwine
Night City hums in suspended time
Waitress pours another bottomless cup
Notebook pages stick the ink wells up
Alley cat watches from a fire escape
Neon puddles mirror cityscape
Notebook opens to a soaked alley scene
Chrome reflections bleed in gasoline
Two voices rise where the streetlights lean
Neon Notebook pages glow in rain
Midnight diner memories sustain
Chrome and leather stories intertwine
Night City hums in suspended time
Short-order ticket flaps on metal clip
Notebook records each greasy fingertip
Regular laughs a sound like cast iron
Alley returns a different horizon
Harmonium drones through the kitchen vent
Foot tambour keeps the midnight tempo spent
Gang vocals clap on the two and four
Sun-warmed nostalgia kicks the back door
Neon Notebook pages glow in rain
Midnight diner memories sustain
Chrome and leather stories intertwine
Night City hums in suspended time
Dawn creeps slow on the rain-slicked brick
Notebook snaps shut the moment quick
Two voices fade with the fluorescent buzz
Leather and chrome still dreaming of us
Neon Notebook pages glow in rain
Midnight diner memories sustain
Chrome and leather stories intertwine
Night City hums in suspended time
Neon Notebook we write it again
Rain stops coffee cools notebook waits
