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.
