Neon Test

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You showed up late in white Said you knew my name I should’ve read the room But I played that game Your ring left on the sink Your laugh hit like a spark We crossed that line too fast Then lost it in the dark [Pre-Chorus] Now the mirror won’t lie I can’t sleep it off Got that cold little knot And it won’t let up [Chorus] Check me now, check me now I should’ve known, somehow Check me now, check me now Too much heat, too little ground Check me now, check me now I’m payin’ for the thrill Check me now, check me now One bad night, one hard chill [Verse 2] You vanished by the dawn Left your cologne in air I’m standing in the sink With a face that says beware The clinic light is harsh My hands won’t stay still I learned my lesson fast From a crooked little thrill [Pre-Chorus] Now the mirror won’t lie I can’t sleep it off Got that cold little knot And it won’t let up [Chorus] Check me now, check me now I should’ve known, somehow Check me now, check me now Too much heat, too little ground Check me now, check me now I’m payin’ for the thrill Check me now, check me now One bad night, one hard chill [Bridge] No more sweet excuse No more “just this once” I’m making room for truth And I’m not the only one Better get yourself checked Better tell it straight When the body rings that bell You don’t keep it waiting [Final Chorus] Check me now, check me now I should’ve known, somehow Check me now, check me now Too much heat, too little ground Check me now, check me now I’m payin’ for the thrill Check me now, check me now One bad night, one hard chill
