Neon Teeth

[Verse 1] She came crawling out the bathroom light Lipstick halo, switchblade smile The jukebox coughed up another lie And everybody swayed like they were crucified Gold dust falling from her hair Cheap cocaine and midnight prayers She said, “Boy, this city eats its own” Then laughed like broken telephone [Pre-Chorus] Streetlights flicker Like dying stars We burn prettier with the scars [Chorus] We got neon teeth and dirty dreams Living fast on broken machines Dance all night till the speakers bleed Everybody wants what they don’t need Neon teeth and hungry eyes Kissing hard beneath the overpass sky Saints get lost in the alley heat With their hearts kicked out into the street [Verse 2] Skin-tight leather, panic grin Everybody’s trying to let the devil in Bathroom prophets sniffing lines Talking like they’re gonna live forever this time She climbed the speakers at the show Screaming things nobody should know I fell in love for a minute or two Then disappeared into the smoke-filled room [Bridge] Higher… Than the radio towers now Wild enough to drown somehow Mother moon Don’t let me sleep The night still has its claws in me [Breakdown] Shake your bones Lose your head Paint the sidewalks crimson red Loose lips Blackened lungs Young enough to die for fun [Final Chorus] We got neon teeth and shattered halos Living like tomorrow’s canceled Laughing while the world burns slow Nowhere left for us to go Neon teeth and restless souls Digging holes in rock and roll One more kiss before the crash One more song before we ash [Outro] Ahhhh… The city hums like a loaded gun Ahhhh… And we still dance when the morning comes
