Neon Grease

[Intro]
[Verse]
Name tag hits the floor.
I don't work here no more.
Folding sweaters for the fakes.
Watching for all my mistakes.
Rain kicks up off the street.
Moving to a different beat.
My bike is waiting outside.
Ready for a reckless ride.
[Pre-Chorus]
Denim soaked to the bone.
Finally out on my own.
Neon glows in the puddles.
Breaking through all the huddles.
I feel a little bit wild.
Like a very bitter child.
[Chorus]
Pedal hard through the dark.
Catch a desperate little spark.
I am free and I am broke.
Living for the cosmic joke.
Handlebars covered in gum.
Look at what I have become.
Just a shadow in the rain.
Cutting through the city vein.
[Verse]
Back alleys narrow and tight.
Chasing the ghost of the light.
Wurlitzer humming in my ears.
Swallowing all of my tears.
Chain grease under my nails.
Telling my own tall tales.
The manager is probably mad.
It’s the best shift I’ve had.
[Pre-Chorus]
Wet hair stings my eyes.
Underneath the heavy skies.
Storefronts flicker and fade.
Best mistake I ever made.
I feel a little bit light.
Winning a very small fight.
[Chorus]
Pedal hard through the dark.
Catch a desperate little spark.
I am free and I am broke.
Living for the cosmic joke.
Handlebars covered in gum.
Look at what I have become.
Just a shadow in the rain.
Cutting through the city vein.
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning out in the gray.
Throwing the old life away.
Spinning out in the gray.
I’m gonna find my own way.
[Bridge]
Rent is due on the first.
Waiting for the bubble to burst.
But the wind tastes like wine.
Everything is going to be fine.
No more "Customer is right."
I’m disappearing into the night.
My lungs are starting to burn.
With every single sharp turn.
[Chorus]
Pedal hard through the dark.
Catch a desperate little spark.
I am free and I am broke.
Living for the cosmic joke.
Handlebars covered in gum.
Look at what I have become.
Just a shadow in the rain.
Cutting through the city vein.
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning out in the gray.
Throwing the old life away.
Spinning out in the gray.
I’m never going back today.
[Outro]
