Elton John - In Neon lyrics

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album breaking hearts

Lipstick and lashes, the traces of stardom

Lit up on a billboard so everyone sees them in neon

Behind the counter she stares out the window

Up at the billboard that's like a reminder in neon

She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror

Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon

For two cents of danger she'd trust anybody

She'd smoke like a gun if it meant she might wind up

In neon the dreams in the light of a promise that dies

A shimmering city, a glimmer of hope and a lie

In neon the name's gone there's no reason why anymore

Trust them and wind up alone behind a locked door

In neon, in neon

Pictures and patterns, the touches of glamour

Cut into a fashion that flashes above them in neon

A hot cup of coffee held in her fingers

A perfect complexion that lingers above her in neon

She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror

Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon

For a shot at the title, she'd slip into something

She'd smoulder like ashes if it meant she might wind up in neon

In neon
