Neon Sisters - 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

Of all the fires

That ever thawed a cooling planet

Yours burned bright

With no chemical fan to 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?
