Track Insight / Lyrics
Flickering neon, city's first breath
Sweet summer night's final sigh
Hardwood floor, chrome & glass gleam
Quiet hours before the day's scheme
Here in the dawn's still hush
Moon faded, stars slipping north
Empty dockside, deserted rush
Gulls call out before new birth
Oh, shining city morning light
Paint the scene with your warm delight
Neon's gentle hospitality
Brings the day to tender destiny
Pools of mercury underfoot
Rustic lantern's streetlamp glow
Wet sandy pavement, morning fruit
The ocean's pulse starts to show
Oh, shining city morning light
Paint the scene with your warm delight
Neon's gentle hospitality
Brings the day to tender destiny
Slap bass lines, call-and-response horns
Funky rhythm section, laid-back grooves
A disco beacon in the break of dawn
Then the world awakens from its sleep
Morning people, hoping to reap
Success and fortune, life's each deal
But first, the city's neon spell
Oh, shining city morning light
Paint the scene with your warm delight
Neon's gentle hospitality
Brings the day to tender destiny
As the sun rises, paint by paint
Neon fades, day's design begins
The shining city's morning light sustains
The thinning embers of the virtual dance
