Lyrics
[Sparkling Synth Arpeggio Intro]
Magenta ripples on the asphalt wet,
the diner sign is mirrored in the street.
[Verse 1]
I slow the motor by the corner shop,
the rain is slackening to gentle mist.
Reflections dancing in a liquid twist,
where red and violet colors never stop.
The glass displays are sleeping behind bars,
a mannequin in yellow linen coat.
I smile at reflections on the hood,
and let my spirit float.
[Pre-Chorus]
The city looks like painted watercolor,
each streetlamp bleeding into gold and rose.
My mind is quiet as the water stills,
and everything just flows.
[Chorus]
Neon floating in the puddle.
It turns the dark asphalt to liquid light,
a vibrant canvas in the middle night.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
neon floating in the puddle.
[Verse 2]
I press the pedal gentle on the straight,
the tires spraying ribbons at the curb.
A peaceful solitude no sudden horn,
or midnight caller can disturb.
The traffic signals cycle green and red,
for empty lanes that listen to my song.
I turn the volume dial up a notch,
and hum along so strong.
[Chorus]
Neon floating in the puddle.
It turns the dark asphalt to liquid light,
a vibrant canvas in the middle night.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
neon floating in the puddle.
[Bridge]
Oh, the rainy street is full of secret warmth,
a beauty that the daylight cannot see.
I drive between the violet and the gold,
unburdened, light and free.
[Chorus]
Neon floating in the puddle.
It turns the dark asphalt to liquid light,
a vibrant canvas in the middle night.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
neon floating in the puddle.
[Synth Chords Fade Outro]
Magenta ripples on the asphalt wet...
Neon floating in the puddle.
[Fade Out]
