Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon puddles glint on pavement stone
11 o'clock, rain has left the night alone
I'm the only one awake out here
Just me and footprints blurred by neon fear
Staying out of sight, one step at a time
Counting footprints while the city grinds
Looking over my shoulder for the other side
Till the neon signs start to recede from view
It's just me and my pounding footsteps now
Midnight motel rooms, love affairs on the fly
Others' hearts beating in time as I walk by
Waiting to decide when to make my move
Footsteps of the lost, my only clue
Then a neon sign leads me to a door
Where shadows dance and secrets whisper more
Heavy breathing, and a trembling hand
Someone's watching, waiting, just out of stand
Staying out of sight, one step at a time
Counting footsteps while the city grinds
Looking over my shoulder for the other side
Till the neon signs start to recede from view
It's just me and my pounding footsteps now
Fear fuels my feet in this lonely night
A predator's pace, delivering me to the fight
When the neon lights give out, it's just me
Against the darkness, and my heartbeat, wild and free
Staying out of sight, one step at a time
Counting footprints in the neon crime
Looking over my shoulder for the other side
Till the neon shadows surrender to the tide
It's just me and my pounding footsteps now
(Pulsing synth bass fades out, last electric piano chord)
