Neon State Line

[Intro]
[Verse]
Scanning barcodes on a Tuesday night
Fluorescent bulbs killing my sight
Dropped my apron on the laminate floor
Walked straight out of the sliding door
I didn't even check the time
Committing a suburban crime
[Pre-Chorus]
Met a stranger at the gas pump
Told her my heart needed a jump
She had a flier and a silver ride
I hopped right in and sat inside
[Chorus]
We’re crossing the neon state line
Leaving the boredom behind
Chasing a ghost in a basement bar
Driving a stranger’s beat-up car
Yeah, we’re losing our minds
Leaving the world behind
[Verse]
Fogging up the windshield with our breath
Cheating a slow and quiet death
Crumpled bags of chips on the dash
Burning through my weekly stash
Radio’s humming a static tune
Under a heavy, rain-slicked moon
[Pre-Chorus]
She didn't even ask for my name
Everything feels like a brand new game
The highway signs are a blurry red
Forget every word that the boss man said
[Chorus]
We’re crossing the neon state line
Leaving the boredom behind
Chasing a ghost in a basement bar
Driving a stranger’s beat-up car
Yeah, we’re losing our minds
Leaving the world behind
[Bridge]
I can hear the drums through the brick
The air in the alley is heavy and thick
Fender amps screaming out loud
Getting lost in the sweat of the crowd
No more shifts and no more clocks
Just the way that the kick drum knocks
[Solo]
[Chorus]
We’re crossing the neon state line
Leaving the boredom behind
Chasing a ghost in a basement bar
Driving a stranger’s beat-up car
Yeah, we’re losing our minds
Leaving the world behind
[Post-Chorus]
(Whoa-oh-oh)
We’re never going back
(Whoa-oh-oh)
Faded out to black
(Whoa-oh-oh)
Yeah, we’re losing our minds
Leaving the world behind
[Outro]
