Neon Religion

© 2011 Mark Cote

Smile at the glittering light
glossy glow there in your eyes
as reality goes
flashing by

sing the song of someone else
read the book on a dusty shelf
do your words
all run dry

don't question what's said to you
don't want to win don't want to lose
when the rainbow's gone
don't ask why

(chorus) Go on and chase your neon religion
                go on and follow the velvet sign
                listen to what the mockingbirds say
                when your world falls down
                they fly away

when you learn to see
and walk on your own
you'll see the colors
you've never known

your mind is unique to you
choose to use it it's up to you
or reality goes
flashing by

(chorus)
