Neon Chase Pulse

Lyrics

[INTRO] I moved to New York chased my biggest dream Watched the post-COVID city rise up & gleam Rekindled a Denver spark in a new time and space We queued up queens & cheered for UK drag race [VERSE] The friends from NM & See-Oh made the cut But I flipped one tiny switch kept Tinder shut “No swiping no scrolling no apps” I swore A tiny little vow that closed one significant door [PRE-CHORUS] One tug on that thread & the whole thing’s undone A lawyer the league nights gone one by one My dodgeball storyline now the wildest of dreams It unraveled & fell apart at the delicate seams [CHORUS] No bonding belly-laughs no tipsy post-plays No beach tans park spreads or steamy spa days No commissioned canvases or prompts to amaze No A-Eye fallen petals for Apollo’s ardent gaze No pseudo-Pygmalion clay-sculpting divas No tilted pyramid cakes whispering of Giza No birthday paintballing missions with the queens No clue cards flipped in our mystery schemes No offbeat AMC movie screening selections No brownies no baking no special confections No wine nights comparing legs in slow swirls No Equinox classes for leg lifts or curls [BRIDGE] All friends made after the rebound of 2021 Gone like a dream when the daylight comes I’d traded that life thought I’d still prevail But damn it, Janet, it’s another fail [OUTRO] For every new “yay!” there’s a brand-new alas A face I will miss in each alternate past (Background vocals) I miss you! I miss you! This version of New York, a half-lit in-between Feels like a lobby to living, a purgatory scene
