Neon Freestyle ‘84

Lyrics

[Intro] Static on the screen Clock blinks twelve oh-three Velcro shoes on the floor I’m out the door (hey!) [Verse 1] Payphone ringing by the corner store Silver chain swinging I want more Cassette in my pocket Labeled “Side B” I hit the sidewalk It hits me Denim on denim Too bright white Taxi horns cutting through the night Quarter in the slot at the arcade glow Name on the score I let it go [Chorus] This is my neon freestyle ‘84 Spinning in the dark till they close the door Heart on delay Echoes on the floor Freestyle Freestyle Give me one move more Neon freestyle ‘84 Write your number on my sleeve Just in case I fall We don’t know the rules We just want it all Freestyle Freestyle Answer when I call (oh yeah) [Verse 2] You slide through the smoke in your plastic pearls Hair sprayed high like a shield to the world Laugh too loud Say “you dance so strange” I say “don’t stop Never change” We jump in the light like a skipping track Every little step No looking back Your hand in mine Then it slips away But your perfume stays for days [Chorus] This is my neon freestyle ‘84 Spinning in the dark till they close the door Heart on delay Echoes on the floor Freestyle Freestyle Give me one move more Neon freestyle ‘84 Write your number on my sleeve Just in case I fall We don’t know the rules We just want it all Freestyle Freestyle Answer when I call [Bridge] Will you remember Monday at the mall Sticker on my jacket Writing on the stall Circle ‘round your name Draw an arrow Draw a star If I lose this moment I’ll rewind to where you are (woah) [Chorus] This is my neon freestyle ‘84 Spinning in the dark till they close the door Heart on delay Echoes on the floor Freestyle Freestyle Give me one move more Neon freestyle ‘84 Write your number on my sleeve Just in case I fall Tape it in my room like a holy call Freestyle Freestyle I was there I saw it all
