I stumbled on a street of neon sighs
My shoes untied but stars in my eyes
In my hand a treasure that slips and spills
Trying to catch it but time won't still
Oh the night hums low where the shadows play
With a tune that aches in a bitter sway
A smoky room and a heart askew
I'm dancing with the ghost of blue
The walls they echo the cries of the lost
Every wrong turn comes with a hidden cost
I whistle to the wind but the notes run dry
A tune of gravel and a heavy sigh
Oh the night hums low where the shadows play
With a tune that aches in a bitter sway
A smoky room and a heart askew
I'm dancing with the ghost of blue
The clock’s no friend to the weary soul
Its hands too fast but its eyes too cold
And though my glass reflects the light I seek
The cracks show truths I refuse to speak
Oh the night hums low where the shadows play
With a tune that aches in a bitter sway
A smoky room and a heart askew
I'm dancing with the ghost of blue
