Neon City Afterglow
Pop song with a driving 80s feel: pulsing bass, bright shimmering synth arpeggios, punchy gated drums at a fast, energetic tempo and a soaring male falsetto chorus. Nocturnal, neon-lit and euphoric, with lyrics about racing through the city at night to find someone you miss.
Lyrics
The dashboard glows a steady greenA phantom in the fast laneI'm pushing through the gasolineTo wash away the last painI see the towers rush on byLike glass against the darkI'm chasing down a distant skyTo find a hidden sparkThe air is getting thin nowI feel the engine start to screamI’m letting all the light inI’m waking from the dreamRunning for youI’m burning up the midnight mileRunning for youJust to see you smileRunning for youEverything is flashing blueRunning for youI’m coming home to youThe radio is playing loudA song from eighty-fourI’m drifting through the lonely crowdAnd looking for the doorThe mirrors catch the purple glareOf signs along the wayI know that you are waiting thereBeyond the edge of greyThe air is getting thin nowI feel the engine start to screamI’m letting all the light inI’m waking from the dreamRunning for youI’m burning up the midnight mileRunning for youJust to see you smileRunning for youEverything is flashing blueRunning for youI’m coming home to youThe needle hits the hundred markThe world begins to blurI’m diving deep into the sparkOf everything we wereRunning for youI’m burning up the midnight mileRunning for youJust to see you smileRunning for youEverything is flashing blueRunning for youI’m coming home to you
