Streetlight Fever 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1

Palm trees pass like skeletal hands

Tail lights glow on empty streets

I floor it, feel the engine rise

Engine hums like a dying heartbeat

Rust belt sunrise paints the dark

Fading red into a faded park

Sweat collects where the collar folds

Heat hangs heavy over the hood

Neon ghosts still flicker bright

But the sky's already pale as light

Pre-Chorus

Is it dawn or is it night?

Can't tell what's rising fast

Pain and pleasure start to blur

Nothing holds when the engine cuts

Every sunrise starts with me

On the wrong side of the line

I can feel the gold on my chest

But the streets don't care for me

Chorus

Streetlight fever, burning slow

Neon bleed into gold

Streetlight fever, running blind

Racing till the dawn finds me

Verse 2

Dust devils dance across the asphalt

Bare feet on the pedals and a prayer that stays

The engine purrs like it's not my fault

Palm fronds swaying to the rhythm we made

I floor it through a red-green flash

Tires squeal where the concrete cracks

Sweat drips cool down the spine

Every speedline feels alive

City lights start losing their glow

Dawn creeps in with a pale hand

Cold wind cuts through the jacket worn

But the engine's still running, still warm

Pre-Chorus

Is it dawn or is it night?

Can't tell what's rising fast

Pain and pleasure start to blur

Nothing holds when the engine cuts

Every sunrise starts with me

On the wrong side of the line

I can feel the gold on my chest

But the streets don't care for me

Chorus

Streetlight fever, burning slow

Neon bleed into gold

Streetlight fever, running blind

Racing till the dawn finds me

Bridge

Every sunrise starts with me

Out here where nothing holds me

Pain and pleasure merge in white

Nothing else left but the engine's light

Sky turns pink behind my wheel

I'm not leaving anything real

Chorus

Streetlight fever, burning slow

Neon bleed into gold

Streetlight fever, running blind

Racing till the dawn finds me
