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 neonx
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
