Wet black tarmac like a glass mirror
Flash the shutter make the image clearer
Silver exhaust spitting out a blue flame
City streets don't even know my name
Neon underglow on a midnight street
Feel the heavy rhythm of a diesel beat
Chrome pipes screaming while the engine roars
Open up the latch and I open doors
Bus ticket crumpled in my denim coat
Low gear rumble like a heavy boat
Capture every spark in a polaroid
Filling up the spaces of a lonely void
Neon underglow on a midnight street
Feel the heavy rhythm of a diesel beat
Chrome pipes screaming while the engine roars
Open up the latch and I open doors
Red light flashing on a rainy bend
Waiting for a signal or a long lost friend
Slick oil puddles painted gold and green
Prettiest machine that I have ever seen
Neon underglow on a midnight street
Feel the heavy rhythm of a diesel beat
Chrome pipes screaming while the engine roars
Open up the latch and I open doors
Tire smoke rising in a thick white haze
Lost inside the flicker of a city maze
One more snapshot of the shifting gear
Finally the road is looking crystal clear
Neon underglow on a midnight street
Feel the heavy rhythm of a diesel beat
Chrome pipes screaming while the engine roars
Open up the latch and I open doors
Keep it rolling now.
Just a ghost in the glow.
Ride on.
