Andy Shauf - Neon Skyline lyrics
[Andy Shauf - Neon Skyline lyrics]
I called up Charlie about a
Quarter past nine and said
"What’s going on tonight?"
He said, "No plans
But I wouldn’t mind holding
A lighter head tonight"
I said, "Come to the Skyline
I’ll be washing my sins away"
Oh, he just laughed, said, "I’ll be late
You know how I can be"
I looked in my fridge
It was a dark scene so I buttered some bread
Chewed my way out the door
And walked down the street
To the neon Skyline
I grabbed myself a stool at the bar
Oh, somehow Rose always knows just
Exactly what I need she didn’t ask
She just opened a cold can and set
It down in front of me
I said thanks and thought about how Judy
Used to come here with me
But, I got so tired of
Her calling this our disease
‘Cause, I’m just fine
Sometimes I need to clear my mind
You know how that can be
Charlie walked in about a quarter past
Ten and I said, "Greetings, old man"
He hung his coat on the wall and
Took the stool next to mine
He asked Rose for one glass
Of merlot and she laughed
Oh, I’m just fine, I’m wasting time
Sometimes there’s no better feeling than that
Quarter past nine and said
"What’s going on tonight?"
He said, "No plans
But I wouldn’t mind holding
A lighter head tonight"
I said, "Come to the Skyline
I’ll be washing my sins away"
Oh, he just laughed, said, "I’ll be late
You know how I can be"
I looked in my fridge
It was a dark scene so I buttered some bread
Chewed my way out the door
And walked down the street
To the neon Skyline
I grabbed myself a stool at the bar
Oh, somehow Rose always knows just
Exactly what I need she didn’t ask
She just opened a cold can and set
It down in front of me
I said thanks and thought about how Judy
Used to come here with me
But, I got so tired of
Her calling this our disease
‘Cause, I’m just fine
Sometimes I need to clear my mind
You know how that can be
Charlie walked in about a quarter past
Ten and I said, "Greetings, old man"
He hung his coat on the wall and
Took the stool next to mine
He asked Rose for one glass
Of merlot and she laughed
Oh, I’m just fine, I’m wasting time
Sometimes there’s no better feeling than that
