Neon Signs

Lyrics for Neon Signs

I've gotten used to feelin' like I'm crazy, or just lazy Why can't I get off this floor? Think straight anymore? Out on the street, went walkin' in a punishin' heat Nobody meets my eyes except witty signs, luxury designs Every neon sign, every flashin' light tries to fool you Get you on their side, everybody swears they need you And only you to make the buy, you feel flattered to be wanted, and you don't know why It reminds me of that look, that look in your eyes Never enough in a world without trust Havin' to rely upon the lightnin' flash of lust, uh Like it's almost the same as love Every neon sign, every flashin' light tried to fool me There I was just stretchin' out my mind to take in every wounded story Nothin' needs you so badly as a lie, so lonely, driftin', unmoored from real life Beggin', beggin' somebody to keep it alive Livin' rough in a world without trust Havin' to rely upon the honesty of lust, oh You had to make yourself wanted to get what you wanted Now you got me this broken prize Clingin' to you but blank in the eyes Want is a feelin' you can't take alive? 'Til I fell out of desire like a slipped knot I fell out of desire and nothin' caught I fell out of the fire wasn't even hot I could feel nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', naught My want was honest, you tried to direct it But it was connected To somethin' I can't explain, immersed in all my pain Like a root in a ceilin' drain breakin' apart everythin' I never knew it, I tried so hard to cut, to cut through it, ooh Never enough in a world without trust Determined broken open and refusin' to adjust, oh I swear to God I saw real love once Nothin' needs you so badly as a lie So lonely, driftin', unmoored from real life If nobody believes it, all it can do is die
