Neon Seconds
Mr.Skeleton’s got some moves; he can pull a devil and an angel.
And he thinks that makes for the best storyline.
Someone’s gotta tell him the truth here eventually.
Someone’s gotta tell him that his story’s been written five hundred times.
And he says he’s looking for a career on the moon.
Hey Mister Silver, I’ve found your spoon.
If that’s what you’re hoping for, second place is where you’ll succeed,
But the minute you want gold don’t come looking for me.
Cowboys don’t fit in well in Nashville, they’re better off in Vegas.
If you’re being chased by neon better make it bright.
I know it is a hard call saying when you’ve tried it all.
Working for something to hang on the wall.
Don’t be like the rest, go on and try to get famous.
And he says he’s looking for a career on the moon.
Hey Mister Silver, I’ve found your spoon.
If that’s what you’re hoping for, second place is where you’ll succeed,
But the minute you want gold don’t come looking for me.
