Neon Blue Lyrics - Singles - Holly Cole Trio

Strike light through 

Feeling like a stranger 

Just passing through 

Sitting in this downtown hotel room 

Lookin' at the view 

The city takes it's toll of you 

Neon Blue 

Tombstones of tomorrow 

The city's cry of gloom 

Echoes from the towers 

Like a ghost wind blowin' through an empty room 

Flashes from the signs on the arcade 

Ten cents of a dollar 

It's a sweet parade 

But nothing lasts forever 

Neon Blue 

Streetights on the corner 

Splash their colours on the night 

Tape decks blare and kids compare 

Stories of their flight into everywhere 

Riding the wires 

Reaching for the moon 

Streetights on the corner 

Splash their colours on the night 

The men drive by so slowly 

The deal is always red for gold 

Midnight in the city 

Is always Neon Blue 

The men drive by so slowly 

The deal is always red for gold 

Midnight in the city 

Is always Neon Blue 

Neon Blue 

Neon Blue
