Neon Horizon 1987

[Intro]
[Verse]
The dash is glowing green
A ghost inside the machine
The tape sits on the seat
In the desert’s lonely heat
The Moog begins to roll
Like shadows on my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
I left the coast at five
Just to stay alive
The salt is in my eyes
Underneath these empty skies
[Chorus]
Chasing the neon light
Deep in the desert night
The signal starts to fade
For the secret that we made
Don't look in the mirror now
Just keep the silent vow
The road is wide and black
And there is no turning back
[Post-Chorus]
Echoes in the dark
Flicker like a spark
Driving through the haze
Lost in a purple maze
[Verse]
The Prophet starts to weep
While the dusty canyons sleep
My hands are shaking fast
How long can this tape last?
The sign is half-erased
A memory misplaced
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the ocean call
Behind the mountain wall
But I am far away
In a world of static grey
[Chorus]
Chasing the neon light
Deep in the desert night
The signal starts to fade
For the secret that we made
Don't look in the mirror now
Just keep the silent vow
The road is wide and black
And there is no turning back
[Bridge]
The radio plays a song
Where did we go wrong?
A ballad from a distant time
A slow and simple rhyme
The VHS wash is thick
The clock begins to tick
[Chorus]
Chasing the neon light
Deep in the desert night
The signal starts to fade
For the secret that we made
Don't look in the mirror now
Just keep the silent vow
The road is wide and black
And there is no turning back
[Outro]
