in neon

Lyrics

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, 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, 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, in neon, in neon, 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, 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 smoulder like ashes if it meant she might wind up in neon, in neon
