Elton John - In Neon lyrics
[Elton John - 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 two cents of danger she'd trust anybody
She'd smoke like a gun if it
Meant she might wind up
In neon in neon
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 two cents of danger she'd trust anybody
She'd smoke like a gun if it
Meant she might wind up
In neon in neon
