Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon lights strobe through the haze,
Midnight subway platform in a daze.
I stand at post, my watchful gaze
Scans the empty tracks in urban daze,
Where city streets give way to rails,
Passing souls in cloak of night hail.
[Pre-
Then the train arrives, a silver whale,
And flashes by in a thundering gale,
Whisking away the lost and bold,
My weary eyes on darkness hold.
In the neon pulse, in the downtown haze,
I count the hours as the city drapes,
In neon dreams, in the city's sway,
I'm the guardian till the dawn breaks gray.
With each departing train, the city roars,
Asleep the world in endless scores,
But I remain, a sentry on stone,
Watching nights stretch to tomorrow's dawn.
[Pre-
Then the train arrives, a silver whale,
And flashes by in a thundering gale,
Whisking away the lost and bold,
My weary eyes on darkness hold.
In the neon pulse, in the downtown haze,
I count the hours as the city drapes,
In neon dreams, in the city's sway,
I'm the guardian till the dawn breaks gray.
Distant sirens wail, a city sigh,
As whispers of the day come nigh,
With dawn's light seeping through the grime,
My watch draws to a gentle chime.
In the neon pulse, in the downtown haze,
I'll count the hours 'til the city sways,
In neon dreams, in the city's sway,
'Neath the pulse, I'll wait till dawn's ray.
The morning breaks, the city's alive,
My post shifts, the dawn takes flight,
Another night slips past while I stand,
Neon's pulse now lost, in city demand.
