Neon Sisters

[Intro]

This song is for a friend

Because I never had a chance to tell him

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Yeah, 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]

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?
