Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon limousines paint the dark, every Saturday night
Pulse of the city, four-on-the-floor of the one they call tonight
Brooklyn to Manhattan, denims and leather lace
All trails converge, no time to waste
In the hollow of the skyscrapers, speakers began to rend the air
Guitars spun like helicopters, a storm of static everywhere
Clouds of perfume and liquor swirled, fire escapes flowed like blood
All deliverance to the rhythm, hearts beating loud
This neon jungle we're nursing, surrender to the takes
These club lights, white lies, a darkroom where we fake
Through the strobe and lather, we lose all else but the feel
High on the kick drum, our hearts forever stray and seal
We're the nightfire mappers, tracing the veins
Of this candlelit inferno, electrons through the brain
In chase of the higher rush, behind closed eyelids we're thrown
To this endless subterranean trip, where time is never shown
Darkness expansion, then the beat drops down
Devil horns raised, sweat drips down, spirits drown
In the flashing lights, the sirens, the noise so loud
All that's real is this moment, this moment we wore out
Neon like spilled paint, neon like rain
Neon reveals the nudges, neon shows the veins
Neon shows the way to go, or nowhere at all
Neon paints the image, neon takes the fall
Disco ghosts of lovin' touch, snatches of forgetful beds
Midnight sweat, early dawn, I do it for the thrills and dread
Darkness washes over me, like the first drops of a rain
Water starts to puddle on the floor, and our hands I stain
With contact rules all faded, licenses revoked by time
We invent new names for pleasure, beneath the strobe's blind
Our stories loop and intertwine, witnessed only by the floor
In the afterglow, the unraveling, love lost in the score
This neon jungle we're nursing, surrender to the takes
These club lights, white lies, a darkroom where we fake
Through the strobe and lather we
lose all else but the feel
High on the kick drum, our hearts forever stray and seal
We're the nightfire mappers, tracing the veins
Of this candlelit inferno, electrons through the brain
In chase of the higher rush, behind closed eyelids we're thrown
To this endless subterranean trip, where time is never shown
Out of here, beyond the lights, dreams scatter in the night
Disappearing, leaving tracers, like memories take flight
But the pulse remains insistent, a drawn-out heartbeat call
The desire to reconnect, to this place, to this, to all
Neon like spilled paint, neon like rain
Neon reveals the nudges, neon shows the veins
Neon shows the way to go, or nowhere at all
Neon paints the image, neon takes the fall
Back to your tower, return to your bed
The night luminescent secretary, the morning news instead
The vitamins and the melodies, all in reruns now play
The city's heartbeat, and the neon, in your dreams will stay
