Under Neon – Ashen Bloom

Verse

Broken meter running red on Fifth and Vine

Every light in this town keeps telling me to stop the drive

Got a quarter tank and a heartbeat set on overdrive

Odds are stacked like the billboards but I'm still alive

Chorus

Under neon, under neon

We don't quit when the sirens start

Every sign says turn around, kid

We're the ones who never park

Under neon, burning brighter

Than the odds they stacked so high

Watch us run this town on empty

Under neon skies

Verse

Landlord's sign is nailed up crooked on the corner store

Preacher on the radio says we won't make it anymore

But the engine's still turning and the tank ain't dry

We've been counted out before and we're still here tonight

Chorus

Under neon, under neon

We don't quit when the sirens start

Every sign says turn around, kid

We're the ones who never park

Under neon, burning brighter

Than the odds they stacked so high

Watch us run this town on empty

Under neon skies

Bridge

They said count the losses, close the door

Said a town like this don't want us anymore

But I've seen the wreckage turn to gold

Watched the coldest hearts refuse to fold

So light 'em up, every window, every sign

We were never meant to color inside the line

Chorus

Under neon, under neon

We don't quit when the sirens start

Every sign says turn around, kid

We're the ones who never park

Under neon, under neon

Every gauge is running dry

Doesn't matter, we're still driving

Under neon skies

Under neon, we're still rising

Under neon skies
