In Neon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lipstick and lashes, the traces of stardom Lit up on a billboard so everyone sees them in neon Behind the counter she stares out the window Up at the billboard that's like a reminder in neon [Pre-Chorus] She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon For two cents of danger she'd trust anybody She'd smoke like a gun if it meant she might wind up [Chorus] In neon, the dreams in the light of a promise that dies A shimmering city, a glimmer of hope and a lie In neon, the name's gone, there's no reason why anymore Trust them and wind up alone behind a locked door [Post-Chorus] In neon In neon [Verse 2] Pictures and patterns, the touches of glamour Cut into a fashion that flashes above them in neon A hot cup of coffee held in her fingers A perfect complexion that lingers above her in neon [Pre-Chorus] She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon For a shot at the title, she'd slip into something She'd smolder like ashes if it meant she might wind up [Chorus] In neon, the dreams in the light of a promise that dies A shimmering city, a glimmer of hope and a lie In neon, the name's gone, there's no reason why anymore Trust them and wind up alone behind a locked door [Post-Chorus] In neon [Outro] In neon, the dreams in the light of a promise that dies A shimmering city, a glimmer of hope and a lie In neon
