neon heart

Singer:boomtown rats, the

life pours down into the neon heart

cement city is all a-spark

the whores are loose and the dames are abroad

a price on their hearts you can't fail to afford

drink to the bitch and we'll dance for a while

if you can't do the module than you'll have to try the slide

it was all cool enough if you had the zazz

the night was still young and it was all we had

i picked her up at the bar that night

i took her home

she didn't put up a fight

she was real good looking but she

uh

wasn't too bright

we locked the curtains and then pulled out the night

i was fighting to maintain my cool

i walked the thin line between animal and fool

till i felt her hand in mine and said

you're wrong about me

i'm a boy from a good family

i told her

the jukebox played an out-of-time tune

made tricia cry

oh

her mascara was ruined

she looked such a sight

the sorrowful bitch

she rushed to the bathroom and she slashed both her wrists

everybody screamed and roared for more

lonestar angels shouting encore"
