Neon Sisters

(This song is for a friend because I never had a chance to tell him)

Neon, we were the neon sisters

Standing in the cold rain

Waiting for a home game

Neon, the neon sisters

Up and down the M1

95 and then some

Midnight for the neon sisters

And London was a bombsight

Frozen in the moonlight

And honey for the neon sisters

Honey came in all shapes

Pinafore and a snowflake

And you borrow from dream-mongers

And then you live to be 100

Until the day you wake up hungering for neon

Then where were the neon sisters?

Reeling from a cowpunch

Looking for a free lunch

Anywhere the wind blows the club for heroes

Blew me into Hollywood

Blew you to skid row

But I should have been there with you

The night you died

I think a part of me died with you

But in my heart

Where could I find it to forgive you?

Until the night

You went and stuck a dirty needle in your vein
