Thomas Dolby - Neon Sisters lyrics
[Thomas Dolby - Neon Sisters lyrics]
This song is for a friend
Because I never had a chance to tell him
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
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
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
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
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?
Because I never had a chance to tell him
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
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
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
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
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?
