Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whiskey moon on neon streets,
Dreams are heavy, truth ain’t cheap.
Voices hum through radio haze,
Selling salvation for lost yesterdays.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been walking these old lines,
Trading nickels just to buy back time.
Every shadow whispers what’s mine,
Every heartbeat racing, toeing the line.
[Chorus]
Show me the glass city blues,
Where broken hearts go when they’ve paid their dues.
Turn the record faster, let the truth unwind,
Don’t you dare crucify my mind.
[Verse 2]
Paper prophets with golden tongues,
Preach to the old while poisoning the young.
Painted ladies in a cigarette glow,
Say they’ll take you somewhere, but you’ll never know.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I’ve been chasing the midnight light,
Running through echoes that vanish by night.
Every lie they sell, I see through,
But still I’m learning what is true.
[Chorus]
Show me the glass city blues,
Where broken hearts go when they’ve paid their dues.
Spin it quicker, don’t leave me behind,
I’m alive, don’t crucify my mind.
[Outro]
The jukebox hums as the night rolls on,
Faster we’re singing, closer we’re gone.
