Neon Nocturne

As he rolls through the city’s barricade [Pre-Chorus] Whiskey whispers from the bars Taxi cabs and broken stars In this town (in this hazy town) Echoes of sirens joining the race From the precinct to the underworld’s embrace His cruiser hums a lonely tune Down the boulevards, under the sallow moon Tired badge, yet he holds the line Just a servant to the clock's relentless grind Endless hustle, the stress it piles But he stands watch, through endless trials Through thick smoke, under the red sky (watch it fly) He drives alone, in the fading trail [Verse 1] Dreary eyes, in the rearview glare Every corner, hides a new beware With each call, he's racing the sun Through this urban jungle, the night's never done Badge on his chest (badge on his chest) Hours long and the sirens wail Gritty dreams, the city tests Another siren screams, another tale [Pre-Chorus] Traffic jams, but his mind moves fast Duty calls, gotta leave the past Burnt-out shield (worn and used) Long nights chase what doesn't rest City's haze in the rear view Riding down them streets, unrest Streets are veins (these city veins) With a pulse that's runnin' wild Every shift's a winding gamble In the maze where danger's styled [Verse 2] Yellow cabs streak through the rain Neon signs, a fading scene
