Neon (& That's Why)

“Do you ever get the feeling that you’re living someone else’s dream?”

She said while she sat and tapped on the top of that cigarette machine,

I said “baby, it’s a mean old world, ugliness it just unfurls itself in mysterious ways, we all have our dog days”

 Do you ever get the feeling that you’re living in a magazine?

 If I had all of the money that I’ve spent on dope I would buy that dress in green.

Then I’d ride out among the stars, strumming a cosmic guitar that shoots out lazer beams, and then they’d see…

Cause I would be neon and that’s why

Do you ever get the feeling that someone will be dancing on your grave?

All these thoughts that stir in my head are sometimes too much to take.

Oh but baby, that’s the way it goes, happiness just ebbs and flows, and it puts you on your knees, oh but honey, please…

We could be neon and that’s why
