Track Insight / Lyrics
Gas station lights like bottle caps aglow
Fluorescent hum under the damp soot night
My old city map '82, ink-well worn pages
A dingy girl's traced marks, journeys trapped in shades
Ladies in slinky dresses, heels on wet asphalt
Intoxicated laughter, promises held fast
Backseats rumpled, candlelit like boudoirs nocturnal
Midnight paraphernalia, dregs of passion's uncouth spill
Neon puddles gather under stilettos high
Neon lovers trapped like fireflies in city sky
Irresistible, impermanent, electric escape
Neon lovers fleeting like the streaks on windshield's haze
Rippling purple neon casting spliced citadinia
Faded kiss marks on the terminal's grimy glass
Love's detritus: crumpled receipts, forgotten gum, lottery tickets
Tokens of transience, the currency of passion spent
Drenched in sweat and smoke, spilt cocktails staining dresses
Moonlight shimmering off the rain-slick pavement's sheen
Taxis cruising by, headlamps strobing, an emcee's spotlight
Hushed confessions traded, hearts in lethal syncopate
Neon puddles gather under stilettos high
Neon lovers trapped like fireflies in city sky
Irresistible, impermanent, electric escape
Neon lovers fleeting like the streaks on windshield's haze
Cities cast in candy wrappers, candy-colored agents
Midnight trysts in alleyways, love's illicit rendezvous
Neon dials spinning false promises, liquid courage flowing
A fleeting synthesis, lovers against the city's apathy
Neon puddles rise, neon lovers entwined
Streaks of heat against the cold concrete, union of the night
Lured by the siren call of neon signs
Dancing, falling, lost under the city's neon glow tonight
Neon pulses far and wide, lights flicker, dim and fade
Memories of neon lovers dissolving, answers drifting towards dawn's shade.
