Neon Lint

[Intro]
[Verse]
Counting quarters on the glass
Watching thirty minutes pass
Fluorescent lights begin to hum
My fingers feeling cold and numb
Shift is almost done
But the dryer's still on run
[Pre-Chorus]
Bleach and soap inside the air
Static pulling at my hair
I'm stuck inside this cycle loop
Stirring up this bitter soup
[Chorus]
Then you slide a paper through
Neon pink and midnight blue
A basement show down the block
Where the heavy rhythms rock
I’m ready to ignite
Leave the lint behind tonight
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning cycles
Broken idols
New arrivals
Pure survival
[Verse]
I see your shadow through the door
Crumpled paper on the floor
You didn't even say a word
The loudest thing I ever heard
Just a flyer on the tile
Gave me something like a smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Main Street is a ghost town
Always trying to keep me down
But there’s a flicker in the dark
A tiny, restless, thrumming spark
[Chorus]
Then you slide a paper through
Neon pink and midnight blue
A basement show down the block
Where the heavy rhythms rock
I’m ready to ignite
Leave the lint behind tonight
[Bridge]
Small town streets are paved with lead
Keeping voices in my head
But the Farfisa starts to swell
Breaking through this quiet hell
One more spin and then I'm free
To be who I’m supposed to be
[Solo]
[Hook]
Ten more minutes on the clock
I can hear the basement rock
Grab my jacket off the chair
Cold wind hitting in my hair
I’m going
Yeah, I’m going
[Chorus]
Then you slide a paper through
Neon pink and midnight blue
A basement show down the block
Where the heavy rhythms rock
I’m ready to ignite
Leave the lint behind tonight
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning cycles
Broken idols
New arrivals
Pure survival
[Breakdown]
No more quarters
No more orders
Crossing borders
[Outro]
