Track Insight / Lyrics
Steps of solitude echo down the street
Moonlight bounces off abandoned static screens
Cinemas bleached grey, murmured tales unseen
My only friend is darkness and the night's machines
Four AM breathes, empty and alive
Footfalls counting secrets, miles of silent drive
Ghost of dreams unfurl, strangers watching lights
The chase to nowhere, through the neon night
Oh, shine your lonely beacon, neon high
Cast your broken shadows, spread your darkest sigh
Midnight serenade, for me and you
Two souls adrift, in stars so blue
And then it's dawn, the drive-in's gone to sleep
Crows alight on bleachers where hearts once beat
The scent of gasoline still clings to their skin
As dawn forgives the night's lone footprints within
Four AM breathes, empty and alive
Footfalls counting secrets, miles of silent drive
Ghost of dreams unfurl, strangers watching lights
The chase to nowhere, through the neon night
Oh, shine your lonely beacon, neon high
Cast your broken shadows, spread your darkest sigh
Midnight serenade, for me and you
Two souls adrift, in stars so blue
In morning mist, the drive-in's still asleep
A fleeting mirage, of long-lost hours deep
The neon ghosts fade, with the rising dawn
But in my dreams, the serenade continues on
Oh, shine your lonely beacon, neon high
Cast your broken shadows, spread your darkest sigh
Midnight serenade, for me and you
Two souls adrift, in stars so blue
As morning purges the streets of their night
And the drive-in's darkness starts to take flight
My heart keeps time with the fading neon hum
To the lonely serenade, sung just to one.
