Neon Charade
[Verse 1] Marching feet on the concrete stage, City’s masquerade in a neon cage. Streetlights stutter, a tired flicker, In shadows trading whispers, the plot thickens quicker. [Chorus] Neon charade, play your part, Under the gaze of a weary star. Skyscrapers looming, all flash, no light, Crafting the myths of the city by night. [Verse 2] Taxi cabs streak, desperate streaks, Chasing tales through the streets they speak. Alleys murmur with the click of a latch, Deals in darkness, plans to hatch. [Chorus] Neon charade, play your part, Under the gaze of a weary star. Skyscrapers looming, all flash, no light, Crafting the myths of the city by night. [Bridge] Subways sighing, a rumble below, Iron veins pulse, but never show. Faces pass at the turnstile dance, Each glance a challenge, missed by chance. [Verse 3] Rooftop secrets, lost in the sky, Clutching at stars they’ll never buy. Windows gaping, eyes that gape, Life on display, no escape. [Chorus] Neon charade, play your part, Under the gaze of a weary star. Skyscrapers looming, all flash, no light, Crafting the myths of the city by night. Windows gaping, eyes that gape, Life on display, no escape. [Chorus] Neon charade, play your part, Under the gaze of a weary star. Skyscrapers looming, all flash, no light, Crafting the myths of the city by night. [Outro] So twirl in the glow of the flickering signs, In the city’s clutch, where truth unwinds. Every shadow’s a riddle, every light a snare, In the city at night, beware the glare. Windows gaping, eyes that gape, Life on display, no escape. [Chorus] Neon charade, play your part, Under the gaze of a weary star. Skyscrapers looming, all flash, no light, Crafting the myths of the city by night. [Outro] So twirl in the glow of the flickering signs, In the city’s clutch, where truth unwinds. Every shadow’s a riddle, every light a snare, In the city at night, beware the glare.
