Cathode Lovers 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Old film stock flickers in the dark

We stole the frame from an arcade heart

Cement floors humming beneath our feet

Every static sound was a promise we'd keep

Pre-Chorus

Do you hear that hum still, deep inside?

Is it just a wire or something alive?

Count to ten before you say goodbye

Chorus

We were made of neon, flashing bright

Cathode lovers, burning through the night

No one turned us off but time itself

Cathode lovers, electric shelf

Verse

Popsicle sticks painted into a sign

Said we'd chase the ghosts in the signal line

Rivulets of rainwater running down your face

Every flashbulb lit up an endless place

Pre-Chorus

Do you hear that hum still, deep inside?

Is it just a wire or something alive?

Count to ten before you say goodbye

Chorus

We were made of neon, flashing bright

Cathode lovers, burning through the night

No one turned us off but time itself

Cathode lovers, electric shelf

Bridge

Faded Polaroids in a cardboard box

Nothing left but static on your dial, clock

If this spark still glows like it used to glow

Press rewind, start counting all over slow

Chorus

We were made of neon, flashing bright

Cathode lovers, burning through the night

No one turned us off but time itself

Cathode lovers, electric shelf

Outro

We're still glowing underneath the dark
