Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain-slick pavement, a oil-streaked mirror
Every step's a gamble, lives lived in a blur
Hollow laughter echoes, from the motel bars
Where lonely souls spin like roulette, looking for stars
But I'm the ghost in the machine, unseen and unheard
Fuel for these streets, where dreams are drowned, my turf
Fuel for these streets, no escape from the grind
Fuel for these streets, neon fading, life unwinding
Neon tracks, my city heartbeat, pulse for the night
Neon tracks, the endless chase, when will I ever feel right?
Neon tracks, a sinuous maze, no way out, no release
Neon tracks, my resolve unwinds, cold cruel streets
This is your life, a lonely highway, go where you please
No direction, no destination, heart in a permanent freeze
Talk to the shadows, where the lost and lonely roam
Remember the stories, etched in neon, in the motel rooms
But I'm the ghost in the machine, unseen and unheard
Fuel for these streets, where dreams are drowned, my turf
Fuel for these streets, no escape from the grind
Fuel for these streets, neon fading, life unwinding
Neon tracks, my city heartbeat, pulse for the night
Neon tracks, the endless chase, when will I ever feel right?
Neon tracks, a sinuous maze, no way out, no release
Neon tracks, my resolve unwinds, cold cruel streets
Tonight I feel closer, to the truth inside
A fragile veil lifts, the city's dark secrets slide
Under the neon spell, where the lost souls hide
In the motel parking lot, the world passes me by
Neon tracks, the endless chase, when will I ever feel right?
Neon tracks, a sinuous maze, no way out, no release
Neon tracks, my resolve unwinds, cold cruel streets
Neon tracks, my city heartbeat, pulse for the night
Fuel in the tank, chips in the dash
Under neon nightfall, I'm still out in the trash
Caffeine hums, the engine purrs
Time to prowl the strip like an urban vulture
