Neon Queen

Lyrics: Neon Queen

Rain runs silver down the avenue Neon bleeding in the dark like bruises blue And there you are again beneath the sign Like the whole damn city drew itself around your silhouette tonight You walk like nobody’s ever touched your heart Like love’s a thing for weaker girls in cheaper bars And I stand here with my paper bag and shaking hands Trying not to stare like everybody else already understands That I— I wanna be the smoke between your lips The black silk hanging from your hips The girl you let inside your lonely rooms The one who makes the city disappear for you But you’re a queen in leather and midnight light And I’m just another shadow in the rain tonight Watching you like a prayer I shouldn’t say Wanting things a girl like me could never take You wear danger better than diamonds do Every rumor in the district circles back to you Some girls want your money, some your name I just wanna know who you are when you’re not playing the game Do your hands still shake when nobody sees? Do you ever get tired carrying mystery? Does anybody hold you when the club lights die? Or do beautiful women like you survive alone their whole lives? Cause I— I memorize the rhythm of your heels Like somehow wanting makes it real Like maybe if I dream enough you’ll turn around And finally see the girl who’s always staring from the crowd But you’re a queen in leather and midnight light And I’m just another shadow in the rain tonight A nobody with your name inside her chest Trying not to love you more than breath Sometimes I draw the dresses you would wear Sharp black lines and silver-thread despair Sometimes I picture you beside me in the dark Then laugh at myself and tear the whole thing apart Because girls like you don’t fall for girls like me You belong to penthouses and velvet VIPs You belong to stories people whisper low Not to quiet little dreamers nobody knows Still every Friday night I wait beneath those broken lights Hoping for one impossible thing to come true— That one night You might stop And look at me The way I look at you Rain keeps falling down the avenue Neon drowning every secret thought of you And there you are again beneath the sign Like the whole damn city still belongs to you tonight
