From the recording False Saint
Lyrics
Got an addiction to those bright lights,
Like a deadly disease.
The scent of nicotine, whiskey and lust,
In the air that you breathe.
Tonight luck is a lady
and she’s waiting there for me and you.
Just around the corner… down on Neon Avenue.
She’s dressed like a firecracker
Like the Fourth of July.
Ran away with a piece of my heart
Like a thief in the night.
But somewhere on those sidewalk streets
I’ll find a cure for the blues.
In some lonely little cowboy bar… down on Neon Avenue.
Well it’s getting close to midnight,
And the evenings feeling so right.
And I think I like that voodoo that you do.
So come one pretty baby,
Ain’t no need of being lonely,
Tonight I just might be the man for you.
Come rediscover how to fall in love….
…. Down on Neon Avenue.
I hear prophets singing hallelujah
Down at the station.
While holding their for sale signs
For a brand new religion.
As the homeless and the beggars and thieves
Are finding Jesus in you.
But everybody plays a sinners game….
… down on Neon Avenue.
So welcome to the place
Where Sampson fell in love with Delilah.
Where you can find what you’re looking for
In the lonely eyes of a stranger.
So if you’re looking for a friend tonight,
Or just someone to talk to.
Yeh, I’ll be right here waiting for you…
… down on Neon Avenue.
Well it’s getting close to midnight,
And the evenings feeling so right.
And I think I like that voodoo that you do.
So come one pretty baby,
Ain’t no need of being lonely,
Tonight I just might be the man for you.
Come rediscover how to fall in love….
…. Down on Neon Avenue.
