Lately, the pressure's been building From the quiet wars you waged on me, ah-ha My thoughts are fracturing and spinning Into visions that I just can't keep unseen I see a shadow by the stairs With a hollow stare, a crack beneath his smile And she moves through the smoke like a whispered joke Guiding trouble with her style Oh, and the air grew thin and hazy The whole room was getting crazy With a low and steady drumming And a feeling something's coming Yeah, it's right on time Then the shadow by the stairs said, "No one here is spared" And the floor gave way to a neon tide And she whispered in my ear, "Son, you better disappear 'Cause the floor gave way to a neon tide" A neon tide A neon tide I'm searching for a solid anchor But every hand I grab just turns to air I try to call you closer, clearer But when you get here, there's a stranger standing there, oh no Now the shadow's at his peak, his tongue can barely speak As he traces figures on the wall And the girl with the clever mind is the unforgiving kind She can bring a kingdom to its knees and make it fall Oh, and the wires all were burning Every signal kept on turning The whole system was crashing As the mirrored ball was flashing Yeah, it's right on time And the shadow by the stairs said, "No one here is spared" And the floor gave way to a neon tide And she whispered in my ear, "Son, you better disappear 'Cause the floor gave way to a neon tide" A neon tide A rising, burning, neon tide A neon tide A neon tide Yeah, it's a, it's a neon tide It's a, it's a neon tide It's a, it's a neon tide
