Thomas Dolby Neon Sisters
(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 to 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
