Track Insight / Lyrics
Through foggy rail yards I wander aimless
Lost in thought as tracks blur beneath my shoes
A former life still haunts this trench-coated gentleman
His eyes, once sharp as a bloodhound's, now dulled by heartache's sting
But deep inside, the fire still smolders low
A flicker of resolve that will make him want to go
Back to the game, with no more time for hiding
A soul so worn, yearning to be employed
Neon switch, change the locks on my door
Bolted down to keep the ghosts no more
Neon switch, turn the key and let the city in
Transformation fades the scars within
Whispers echo through these abandoned halls
Forgotten clues and stories on the crumbling walls
A gumshoe's intuition still kicks in the dead of night
As he peels the onion, revealing more light
But deep inside, the fire still smolders low
A flicker of resolve that will make him want to go
Back to the trail, with no more time for hiding
A soul so worn, yearning to be employed
Neon switch, change the locks on my door
Bolted down to keep the ghosts no more
Neon switch, turn the key and let the city in
Transformation fades the scars within
Drop baaaass, horns blaaat, get down tonight
Under strobes, floors thump in vibrant light
In neon's hypnotic sway, he finds his path anew
A hard-boiled hero, rugged yet true-blue
With every waking step, a fresh tale unfolds
Of a life remade, where the past grows old
Neon switch, change the locks on my door
Bolted down to keep the ghosts no more
Neon switch, turn the key and let the city in
Transformation fades the scars within
As dawn breaks, neon's embers fade
Into a sky that's cleared of shadows played
And he, the trench coat man, goes on his way
To chase leads down, in this city's neon-scorched day.
