[Intro]
This song is for a friend
Because I never had a chance to tell him

[Verse 1]
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, ninety-five 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 snowflake

[Verse 2]
And you borrow from dream-mongers
And then you live to be a hundred
And you share the spoils you've plundered
Until the day you wake up hungering for neon

[Verse 3]
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 to Hollywood, blew you to skid row
[Verse 4]
Yeah, 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Of all the fires that ever thawed a cooling planet
Yours burned bright with no chemical to fan it
So tell me why, if there's a good and there's an evil
On one of those nights, did you stick a dirty needle in your vein?
