Track Insight / Lyrics
I step out into the neon streak
High-wire tightrope, no safety net
Strobe lights paint the parking lot
Fading signs leave ghosts on my skin
Each step a gamble, a calculated bet
Fuel injected night, magic is my debt
Pulse racing, senses on high
Vice grip of the city midflight
Neon sky, my only guide
I walk the tightrope, on the wire I reside
I dance on the city's frozen Thames
Midnight pulse of neon and dreams
Where shadows come alive at night
And all the world keeps on its frantic flight
Stranded in the strobe, in the haze
I find my beat, my neon daze
Leaping shadows, winking red
Cigarette flicker in my mind instead
Of a soul, just embers in the dark
Motel sign seems to flicker, a distant spark
I quicken my pace, the moment's thin
Before the lights go out, before the drop begins
High-rise silhouette, dark and still
As I hit the ground, the neon chill
Disappears like smoke, the beat is back
I'm lost in the rhythm, never lookinglack
I fall into the groove, the neon flow
Lost in the strobe, my heart starts to glow
Each step a rise, a leap of faith
In the dark of night, where the city's at
Most alive when the world's asleep
High-wire dancer, neon freak
Pulse racing, senses on high
Vice grip of the city midflight
Neon sky, my only guide
I walk the tightrope, on the wire I reside
I dance on the city's frozen Thames
Midnight pulse of neon and dreams
Where shadows come alive at night
And all the world keeps on its frantic flight
Stranded in the strobe, in the haze
I find my beat, my neon daze
A fleeting high, a moment's rush
Fabric of the night, I tear it to shreds
In the neon haze, where shadows play
I live for the fire of the city's gray
Neon streak, racing pulse
City's heartbeat, my wild expose
Midnight whispers, electric hum
Lost in the rhythm, I've won
Neon daze, my wildest dream
I've given in, to the city's scheme
I step out into the neon streak
High-wire tightrope, the morning's bleak
Strobe lights fade, the music stops
The city stills, and my heart's in lock
