Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon lights flicker, motel parking lot
Security guard's on rounds, his heart still hot
From a wild night downtown, his mind still racing
As he surveys the quiet, the stillness of the space
Oh, the secrets that are hidden in the dark
In the shadows of the city, so bright and stark
He walks the perimeter, his eyes on high
Checking locks and fences, the night air filling his sigh
The distant hum of traffic, a lonely siren's wail
As he paces back and forth, the world's a peaceful jail
But then he spots her, a mystery beneath
Stolen moments, whispers in the night's deceit
Two hearts colliding in the dark of night
Electric fantasies, a love so tight
In the motel's alley, a forbidden thrill
Their secret rendezvous, the stars standing still
He lights a cigarette, the smoke curling neat
Across the parking lot, her story he can't beat
A midwestern girl, lost in the city's spell
Chasing dreams and trouble, her heart beating well
But then he spots him, a jealous lover's blaze
A confrontation brewing, the night's growing haze
Two hearts colliding in the dark of night
Electric fantasies, a love so tight
In the motel's alley, a forbidden thrill
Their secret rendezvous, the stars standing still
In the chaos of the moment, the city's alive
The guard a silent witness, as love and lies collide
He knows he should look away, but he can't resist
The gamble of the human heart, that eternal risk
Two hearts colliding in the dark of night
Electric fantasies, a love so tight
In the motel's alley, a forbidden thrill
Their secret rendezvous, the stars standing still
As the first light creeps, and the night fades away
The guard retreats to his post, with a story to convey
Of the city's secret heart, that beats just like his own
And the mysteries that are hidden, yet forever grown
