It has a summery feel to it, but not the kind of birght day, beachy summer styling I used on "Bayside"; instead, it's the after dark humidity of a heavy, smoky summer night, where a man sweats over his passive obsession with the local call girl.

I wrote this song in the summer of 2019. It has a summery feel to it, but not the kind of birght day, beachy summer styling I used on "Bayside"; instead, it's the after dark humidity of a heavy, smoky summer night, where a man sweats over his passive obsession with the local call girl.

lyrics

Neon Afterglow (In the City)
(Marcenby)

I've seen you swimming in the heat haze.
I've felt you flying in the breeze.
You're like summer rain
washing over me.

I've smelled your perfume in the gardens.
I've heard your whisper in the trees.
Sometimes I'm overpowered,
falling to my knees.

Maybe I'm out of touch,
lost in a fantasy
but everywhere I look,
it's always you I see,
still shining in the neon afterglow
of a night in the city.

Baby, I don't know what
it is you do to me,
but you're my vision now.
It's what you're meant to be.
still shining in the neon afterglow
of a night in the city.

I'm taken with the way you move.
I watch you when you walk the street.
I could write a symphony
to that beat.

I took a couple photographs.
Tonight i'll take a couple more
and pin em on the back
of my apartment door.

Maybe I'm out of touch,
lost in a fantasy
but everywhere I look,
it's always you I see,
still shining in the neon afterglow
of a night in the city.

Baby, I don't know what
it is you do to me,
but you're my vision now.
It's what you're meant to be.
still shining in the neon afterglow
of a night in the city.

(break for solo)

You're kind of like the midnight sun;
it's like you never fade away.
You're burned onto my mind,
I'm gonna make you stay.

I'll put you on a pedestal
and keep you there for ever more.
If it's not to worship,
what is beauty for?

Maybe I'm out of touch,
lost in a fantasy
but everywhere I look,
it's always you I see,
still shining in the neon afterglow
of a night in the city.

Baby, I don't know what
it is you do to me,
but you're my vision now.
It's what you're meant to be.
still shining in the neon afterglow
of a night in the city.
