Keep the Neon On (έκδοση 2)

Verse 1 – him

Two a.m., the diner hums a tune it half forgot

The cook reads last week's paper and the coffee's way too hot

You steal my fries like a pickpocket working a crowded train

Then swear you only ordered toast and do it all again

Pre-Chorus – her

The waitress stacks the chairs up high

The rain taps out a beat

But that red sign keeps humming "open"

Out across the street

Chorus – both

Keep the neon on, honey

Pour one more cup for two

The night can call it quits

But I'm not through with you

Keep the neon on

Verse 2 – her

You've got ketchup on your collar and a grin like a royal flush

I knock my coffee off the counter and it hits the floor in a rush

You hand me every napkin, then you wave the waitress for some more

And laugh like it's the best mistake that you've been waiting for

Pre-Chorus – him

The waitress stacks the chairs up high

The rain taps out a beat

But that red sign keeps humming "open"

Out across the street

Chorus – both

Keep the neon on, honey

Pour one more cup for two

The night can call it quits

But I'm not through with you

Keep the neon on

Bridge – him, then her

The moon's been sitting at the counter

Nursing coffee black as tar

Let him pay and catch the early cab

We'll stay right where we are

Final Chorus – both

Keep the neon on, honey

Pour one more cup for two

The night can call it quits

But I'm not through with you

Keep the neon on

Outro – soft, both

They can lock the door and kill the lights

And send us home at dawn

But every time you look at me

You keep the neon on
