Lampost Vertigo (versie 3)

Intro

(Glass shatters in the alleyway)

Lamplight makes a maze of the street

I lose myself, you find me, sweet

Verse 1

Concrete under my feet, graffiti eyes

Nightmares in broad daylight, the city never dies

Bruised knuckles on the steering wheel I hold

Four a.m. traffic lights, the crowd's just a cold

Chrome wheels spinning, I'm the only one awake

The neon sign above me, a warning to partake

I speed down the avenues, the wind in my face

My heart is a raccoon dog, it's got no fixed place

Hook

Lampost vertigo, you're the cause of my fall

Lampost vertigo, I'm spinning, standing tall

Verse 2

Streetlights like a hundred suns above me

The city's a maze of steel and stone and free will

I drive all night, got the music loud and clear

A thousand miles from home, but nowhere's here

My tires screech on the curb, my heart skips a beat

I'm chasing the dark, it's where I meet my street

The city's a beast that never sleeps or hides

And in its eyes, I see my own demise

Hook

Lampost vertigo, you're the cause of my fall

Lampost vertigo, I'm spinning, standing tall

Verse 3

The night is a velvet cloak that I wear with pride

I'm the king of the shadows, where the sun never hides

My heart is a jackrabbit, it's got no fixed pace

I run all night, through the city's darkest space

The lamp posts watch me, they see me at my best

A rebel, an outcast, but I pass the test

In this world of concrete and steel and stone

I'm just a ghost in the machine, but I'm not alone
