Neon Signs Songtext
von The Weather Station

I′ve gotten used to feelin' like I′m crazy, or just lazy
Why can't I get off this floor? Think straight anymore?
Out on the street, went walkin' in a punishin′ heat
Nobody meets my eyes except witty signs, luxury designs

Every neon sign, every flashin′ light tries to fool you
Get you on their side, everybody swears they need you
And only you to make the buy, you feel flattered to be wanted, and you don't know why
It reminds me of that look, that look in your eyes

Never enough in a world without trust
Havin′ to rely upon the lightnin' flash of lust, uh
Like it′s almost the same as love

Every neon sign, every flashin' light tried to fool me
There I was just stretchin′ out my mind to take in every wounded story
Nothin' needs you so badly as a lie, so lonely, driftin', unmoored from real life
Beggin′, beggin′ somebody to keep it alive


Livin' rough in a world without trust
Havin′ to rely upon the honesty of lust, oh
You had to make yourself wanted to get what you wanted
Now you got me this broken prize
Clingin' to you but blank in the eyes
Want is a feelin′ you can't take alive?

′Til I fell out of desire like a slipped knot
I fell out of desire and nothin' caught
I fell out of the fire wasn't even hot
I could feel nothin′, nothin′, nothin', nothin′, naught

My want was honest, you tried to direct it
But it was connected
To somethin' I can′t explain, immersed in all my pain
Like a root in a ceilin' drain breakin′ apart everythin'
I never knew it, I tried so hard to cut, to cut through it, ooh

Never enough in a world without trust
Determined broken open and refusin' to adjust, oh
I swear to God I saw real love once
Nothin′ needs you so badly as a lie
So lonely, driftin′, unmoored from real life
If nobody believes it, all it can do is die
