[Intro]
(Instrumental - Driving bassline, pulsing retro synth arpeggio, atmospheric pads, distant filtered drum loop)
[Verse 1]
Headlights cut the velvet black
Engine hums, no turning back
Rain-slick streets reflect the glow
Of signs that whisper secrets, low
A city sleeps, or holds its breath
A silent pact, defying death
This wheel is cold beneath my hand
Chasing ghosts across the land
[Chorus]
Neon highway, endless night
Shadows dancing in the light
A pulse that echoes deep inside
Nowhere left, nowhere to hide
Underneath the electric sky
Just the rhythm, you and I
Driving hard, leaving it all
Answering the neon call
[Verse 2]
Rearview mirror, empty space
Just the memory of a face
The static crackle on the line
A fractured past, a fading sign
Darkened alleys rush on by
Reflected in a stranger's eye
The synth line climbs, a rising wave
Brave the night, or be its slave
[Chorus]
Neon highway, endless night
Shadows dancing in the light
A pulse that echoes deep inside
Nowhere left, nowhere to hide
Underneath the electric sky
Just the rhythm, you and I
Driving hard, leaving it all
Answering the neon call
[Bridge]
Deeper now, the bass descends
Where the lonely highway ends?
Tension builds, a sonic thread
Whispers everything unsaid
A silhouette against the dawn?
Or just another illusion gone?
The b**t holds firm, the only truth
Chasing echoes from our youth
[Chorus]
Neon highway, endless night
Shadows dancing in the light
A pulse that echoes deep inside
Nowhere left, nowhere to hide
Underneath the electric sky
Just the rhythm, you and I
Driving hard, leaving it all
Answering the neon call
[Outro]
(Instrumental - Chorus synth melody repeats and simplifies, bassline continues, drums gradually fade, atmospheric pads swell and then slowly recede into silence, leaving a final synth note hanging)
