Neon

there's drama on the streets.
we gotta hide our dirty love under the sheets.
these animal eyes are tired of lies.
trapped in lines drawn by sideward stares.
so sellotape your eyelids closed
this light will burn you whole.

oh we shine like the neon.
you and i illumini.

you kick us to rearrange our teeth.
but you forgive him though cos he wasn't schooled like you or me.
you're secret smile says it all.
but we built this city in which you crawl.
so place your hand in my hand,
this light will burn you whole.
