Lyrics

Neon Cowboys

No, don't walk away

I need you to stay with me tonight

Come on, what have you heard?

How desperate the word creeping me tonight

Like Christians and the lions

We'll lay down in the sand

While neon city cowboys

Drift across our land

In their caravans

Why and what can we learn?

Narcissus returns the child in me tonight

Like Muslems in the car wash

Like locators in our hands

The neon city cowboys

Never give our land

With no plans

Turn don't walk away

Stay with me tonight

Stay with me
