Lyrics / The Wondering Traveler
LOS ANGELES (NEON DAMAGE).
Yeah, yeah I landed in a dream that eats you alive Palm trees waving like they own the sky Billboards smiling with a perfect lie Gold on the hills, glass downtown Two exits later, the world breaks down A limo glides with the windows black A tent city breathes on the service track I’m not judging, I’m just here Middle traveler, crystal clear Freeway prayers and neon heat Every heartbeat got a backbeat And I feel that beautiful bruise Like the city got something to prove Los Angeles, neon damage, hold me close I taste the smoke where the wild dreams float I’m a middle traveler, lost but loud Half in the sun, half in the crowd Los Angeles, neon damage, don’t fade out Teach my heart what this life’s about If there’s a sign in the boulevard lights Meet me in the blur tonight Venice sunset, perfect frame Under the shine, it’s still the same A poet cries on a subway grate A starlet laughs at a velvet gate I hear a prayer in a backstreet song I hear regret when the bass hits long And every face got a price and a past Some move slow, some burn fast I’m in the middle, I’m in between Not all gold, not all clean So I breathe in that broken glow Let the rhythm do what it know Los Angeles, neon damage, hold me close I taste the smoke where the wild dreams float I’m a middle traveler, lost but loud Half in the sun, half in the crowd Los Angeles, neon damage, don’t fade out Teach my heart what this life’s about If there’s a sign in the boulevard lights Meet me in the blur tonight I came for the famous I stayed for the human For the hands in the shadows Still reaching through it I don’t need perfect I need real Give me one true moment I can feel Neon, neon Damage, damage Hold me, hold me Don’t let go Los Angeles, neon damage, hold me close I taste the smoke where the wild dreams float I’m a middle traveler, lost but loud Half in the sun, half in the crowd Los Angeles, neon damage, don’t fade out Teach my heart what this life’s about If there’s a sign in the boulevard lights Meet me in the blur tonight I leave with neon in my veins Yeah, yeah
