Neon Avenue

There’s a traitor in my head that want to take me down
Destroy all that I’ve worked for, throw it all to hell
Come on, he says, Do it, it’ll feel so good
Don’t listen to your friends say we don’t think you should

He speaks to me in my own voice
Tells me that I have no choice

But I won’t follow you through the neon avenues
The crooked alleyways where the night don’t turn to day
The lonesome barroom halls, smoky lustful calls
Of pleasure that will quickly turn to pain and ruin and death and misery
I’ll lose my love for you my love for me
Trade self worth for a moment’s ecstasy

There's a devil in my heart that wants to burn it all
Rip out all the pages watch as the ashes fall
Come on he says do it, it’ll feel so good
Don’t listen to your friends say we don’t think you should

He speaks to me in my own voice
Tells me that I have no choice

But I won’t follow you through the neon avenues
The crooked alleyways where the night don’t turn to day
The lonesome barroom halls, smoky lustful calls
Of pleasure that will quickly turn to pain and ruin and death and misery
I’ll lose my love for you, my love for me
Trade self worth for a moment’s ecstasy
