Neon Bullets

Ee ay ee ay

Ee ay ee ay ay
Ee ay ay

Now it's time for you to tell me straight how you got along
Without the constant ticking of the clock
You know it's been a couple years since the walls went up
Does it ever hurt you waiting for the sun?

Neon tubing traces city streets and cable cars
People treading over shards of glass and broken hearts
Bullets flying towards each one of us, and
I don't know who shot the messenger, oh
Went and made you so taboo (there's this girl)

Oh oh oh (remember)
Oh oh oh (remember)

You and I used to meet beneath the city lights
Tell each other our promises and white lies
While around us the city slowly died, and
I believed, I believed, I believed I was bulletproof like you told me
Up until your neon bullets flew

Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ee ay ay
Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ay (how long I gotta wait for you?)

Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ee ay ay
Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ay (how long I gotta wait for you?)

Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ee ay ay
Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ay (you make me wait, you make me wait)

Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ee ay ay
Ee ay ay

I don't know if you still think about how we used to be
Before the night our blood ran down the street
You know that I just can't forget our last afternoon
As long as you're still waiting, I'll be back there soon

Neon tubing traces city streets we used to haunt
People killing over what it is they think they want
We live day by day beneath an artificial sky
And our heartbeats count the days

Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ee ay ay
Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ay

Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ee ay ay
Ee ay ee ay
Ee ay ay
