Track Insight / Lyrics
I watched the Chevrolets roll in slow
Chrome bumpers kissing gravel rows
Fried grease and coffee, thirty cents a cup
Now the lot's just weeds and rusted trucks
Still serving though the lot is dead
Still serving where the highways led
Neon promise, neon vow
I keep burning for you now
Rain drums the canopy where lovers parked
Tires hissed soft before the dark
Miss Rosemary's pie cooled on the sill
Now the raccoons eat their fill
Still serving though the lot is dead
Still serving where the highways led
Neon promise, neon vow
I keep burning for you now
The screen tore loose in seventy-nine
Projection booth's a broken shrine
I flickered on while reels spun round
Now silence is the only sound
Winter stole the copper wire
Spring brought vandals, summer fire
Fall leaves pile where tickets tore
I still glow like times before
A kid on a bike stops by the curb
Checks his phone, disturbs the herb
Snaps a photo, calls it art
Don't know the beating of my heart
Still serving though the lot is dead
Still serving where the highways led
Neon promise, neon vow
I keep burning for you now
City council says condemn the land
Condos rising, master plan
But until the wrecking ball takes flight
I'll burn through every lonely night
Still serving though the lot is dead
Still serving where the highways led
Neon promise, neon vow
I keep burning for you now
Still serving, still serving
Long after the last car's gone
Neon hum in midnight rain
Still serving through the wind and rain
