Track Insight / Lyrics
Faded call sheets, coffee rings on the form
Phone on tired cord, line's humming warm
C Civic to Queens, from 5 to 9
Every problem's real, but none are mine
Daylight pours in the window blind
A world so bright, in my fading mind
Answers linger like a hang-up tone
When night falls still and dawn is unknown
Night watch, the city's alive
Neon siren's song, I can't deny
Each call a mystery I unwind
In the neon night, I leave it behind
Ring tones in the dark, whispers as I type
Midnight shifts on call, day's just a lie
From tenements to penthouses high
Every tale's unique, but I just say "Try"
Daylight pours in the window blind
A world so bright, in my fading mind
Answers linger like a hang-up tone
When night falls still and dawn is unknown
Night watch, the city's alive
Neon siren's song, I can't deny
Each call a mystery I unwind
In the neon night, I leave it behind
Slap bass line on the one, horns stabs time
Rhythmic phrasing tight as the city's prime
Freedom in the rhythm, in the night's design
Disco strings swell, the pulse ignites the mind
Time to blink the screens, let the phone sleep
A fleeting dream of another life to keep
Savoring the quiet, the city's ease
In the neon' light, a restful release
Night watch, the city's alive
Neon siren's song, I can't deny
Each call a mystery I unwind
In the neon night, I leave it behind
Neon city lights
In the morning's first pale light
