Neon Vandal

[Intro]
[Verse]
Deadbolt clicks at 2:04
Sliding out the kitchen door
Mom is dreaming of the lawn
Dad is waiting for the dawn
Sneak out past the garden hose
Static in my heavy clothes
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the rattle in the can
Stick to the master plan
Jump the fence, hit the gas
Watching all the houses pass
[Chorus]
Paint the mall in neon red
Kill the voices in my head
We are kings of hollow halls
Writing on the concrete walls
Break the glass, feel the rush
Throw away the velvet brush
Everything is burning bright
In the middle of the night
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we’re doing fine
Crossing every single line
Yeah, we’re doing fine
Nothing left to leave behind
[Verse]
Parking lot is a ghost town
Slowly tearing the fence down
You got silver on your thumb
Make the upright bass hum
Farfisa organ starts to moan
Leave the keys, lose the phone
Static on the radio dial
Give me just a crooked smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows dancing on the tile
Running for a country mile
Found a way to slip away
To the places we can play
[Chorus]
Paint the mall in neon red
Kill the voices in my head
We are kings of hollow halls
Writing on the concrete walls
Break the glass, feel the rush
Throw away the velvet brush
Everything is burning bright
In the middle of the night
[Bridge]
No apologies to give
This is how we choose to live
Fuzz is screaming in the air
I don't care, I don't care
Let the siren start to wail
We are far beyond the pale
Tear the fabric of the scene
Nineteen and feeling mean
[Chorus]
Paint the mall in neon red
Kill the voices in my head
We are kings of hollow halls
Writing on the concrete walls
Break the glass, feel the rush
Throw away the velvet brush
Everything is burning bright
In the middle of the night
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we’re doing fine
Crossing every single line
Yeah, we’re doing fine
Nothing left to leave behind
[Outro]
