Neon Sisters Lyrics - Astronauts & Heretics - Thomas Dolby

(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 

95 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 a snowflake 

And you borrow from dream-mongers 

And then you live to be 100 

And you share the spoils you plunder 

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 into 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
