Neon Sisters

Lyrics

[Intro] This song is for a friend Because I never had a chance to tell him [Verse 1] Neon, we were the neon sisters Standing in the cold rain, waiting for a home game Neon, the neon sisters Up and down the M1, ninety-five and then some Midnight for the neon sisters And London was a bombsight frozen in the moonlight And honey for the neon sisters Honey came in all shapes, pinafore and snowflake [Verse 2] And you borrow from dream-mongers And then you live to be a hundred And you share the spoils you've plundered Until the day you wake up hungering for neon [Verse 3] Then where were the neon sisters? Reeling from a cowpunch , looking for a free lunch Anywhere the wind blows, the club for heroes Blew me to Hollywood, blew you to skid row [Verse 4] Yeah, but I should have been there with you The night you died, I think a part of me died with you But in my heart, where could I find it to forgive you? Until the night you went and stuck a dirty needle in your vein [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] Of all the fires that ever thawed a cooling planet Yours burned bright with no chemical to fan it So tell me why, if there's a good and there's an evil On one of those nights, did you stick a dirty needle in your vein?
