Under a neon sky
The Harland Cranes they fill your eyes
And through July parades
I'm clinging on for dear life
3000 miles from home
My fragile heart was on the run
And in the cold dark night I realised
What I had done
Please don’t turn your back
I'll change somehow
Don't look to the past
Our time is now
Under a neon sky
My favourite boy
Searched for the truth
And he'd lead an easy life
That was until he got to you
Please don't turn your back
I'll change somehow
Don't look to the past
Our time is now
Get yourself out of town
There's no point hanging round there's a passion inside
You've had since your youth
Well you write and you write and you work 9-5
Well I'm doing it all just to satisfy you
