Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon lights of the drive-in bright
Summer nights, '99 shine
VHS flickers on the screen tonight
Projected dreams beneath the pines
You sneak out past your parent's door
'Cross the yard where fireflies explore
The edge of the woods, a wide open space
Where whispers meet the stars up in their place
Electric pulse in every pore
As you reach the railroad line once more
Where lovers carve their names in fading posts
Their hearts beating out the devil's notes
Oh, the midnight flicker, spinning tales
Of stolen kisses, reckless rails
Like stardust in your wandering eyes
Midnight dreams beneath the darkened skies
Flickering frames, your faces change
Each scene a secret, a stolen range
In your wild heart, a fire's lit
Burning bright as the summer's hit
Electric pulse in every pore
As you reach the railroad line once more
Where lovers carve their names in fading posts
Their hearts beating out the devil's notes
Oh, the midnight flicker, spinning tales
Of stolen kisses, reckless rails
Like stardust in your wandering eyes
Midnight dreams beneath the darkened skies
Lost in time, a reel undone
Forever chasing the flicker's sun
The fire's burning out of control
But your heart won't let it grow old
Oh, the midnight flicker, spinning tales
Of stolen kisses, reckless rails
Like stardust in your wandering eyes
Midnight dreams beneath the darkened skies
Forever changing, frames ablaze
With the ghosts of your summertime days
In the flicker, your story's told
Midnight magic, forever bold
