A light is falling on schoolkid lovers
Cold and blue as their eyes and hands
He'll remember - but she will imagine
That moonshine fell on a handsome man

He's underneath the grid and lattice
A burning office constellation
And there's a strip that's flickering madly
He concentrates with desperation

Under neon, under neon
I have lived and I have died
Under neon, under neon
I have passed my precious time
Under neon, I pass my time

I stare upon the city's horror
Tracing out its symmetry
The local council's hypnotist
Has turned the street lights on for me

There's no escaping poetry
It finds you as you are in despair
And neon claws out the city's darkness
As you close your eyes and you turn away

Under neon, under neon
I have lived and I have died
Under neon, under neon
I have passed my precious time
Under neon, I pass my time

A light is falling on schoolkid lovers
It's cold and blue as their eyes and hands
He'll remember - but she'll imagine
That moonshine fell on a handsome man

Under neon, under neon
I have lived and I have died
Under neon, under neon
I have passed my precious time
Under neon, I pass my time

Under neon, I pass my time

Under neon
Moonshine fell on a handsome man
Under neon, under neon
Moonshine feel on a handsome man

Under neon, under neon
Poetry is at least worth finding
