Neon Halo

[Intro]
[Verse]
Three AM on the clock
Heartbeat steady like a rock
Linoleum floors start to fade
Underneath this blue shade
My order pad is worn thin
Where do the dreams begin?
I’m tracing circles in the dust
In this coffee pot I trust
[Pre-Chorus]
Steam rises up like a prayer
Hanging in the heavy air
I feel a change in the light
Deep in the middle of the night
[Chorus]
Refilling every empty cup
Waiting for the world to wake up
There’s a halo in the neon sign
And I know the stars are mine
Yeah I’m pouring out the soul
Finally taking back control
Just a waitress in a gown of gold
Watch my story now unfold
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, let it flow)
(Let the spirit grow)
(I’m ready to go)
[Verse]
Table four wants a check
Silver pendant on my neck
I see my face in the chrome
Far away from a broken home
The muted trumpet starts to moan
I’m never really all alone
Counting quarters in a jar
Dreaming of a distant star
[Pre-Chorus]
Steam rises up like a prayer
Hanging in the heavy air
I feel a change in the light
Deep in the middle of the night
[Chorus]
Refilling every empty cup
Waiting for the world to wake up
There’s a halo in the neon sign
And I know the stars are mine
Yeah I’m pouring out the soul
Finally taking back control
Just a waitress in a gown of gold
Watch my story now unfold
[Bridge]
Can you hear the Hammond swell?
I’ve got a brand new tale to tell
This apron’s coming off today
I’ve found a better way to play
No more shadows in the hall
I’m gonna answer to the call
Lift my voice up to the sky
Watch me spread my wings and fly
[Solo]
[Hook]
I’m meant for bigger things
I’m meant for golden rings
I’m meant for bigger things
Listen to the way I sing
[Chorus]
Refilling every empty cup
Waiting for the world to wake up
There’s a halo in the neon sign
And I know the stars are mine
Yeah I’m pouring out the soul
Finally taking back control
Just a waitress in a gown of gold
Watch my story now unfold
[Post-Chorus]
(I’m rising up high)
(Touching the velvet sky)
(No more saying goodbye)
(Oh, I’m alive)
[Outro]
