Fog On The Neon Sea 17
[Verse 1] Red curtain in the harbor bar Coffee cup Tarot cards You trace maps on a napkin edge Say the ocean’s got a second heart Cheap lantern swinging in slow arcs Smoke curling like a question mark You laugh low Say “choose your fear Storms out there or ghosts in here” [Chorus] Fog on the neon sea Drift with the dream Don’t wake me One hand steady on the wheel One eye shut so it all feels real Sing low Sway slow with me Salt and secrets on our teeth Fog on the neon sea Fog on the neon sea [Verse 2] Vinyl hiss Then a distant drone Old reel tape of a dialing phone Dancing on a slanted deck Shoes soaked through But we still step You hum tunes from another life Glass half-full of cherry light Every spin of the compass wrong But it still points back to this song [Bridge] [whispered vocals] All aboard for the sleepless tide Where the clocks turn back and the stars collide [low vocal register] Crew of the lost and the almost free Hands on the rail Breathe in Count three [spoken Close to mic] If the waves start talking Don’t look away They only tell the truth in a sideways way [Chorus]
