Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album breaking hearts<br><br>Lipstick and lashes, the traces of stardom<br>Lit up on a billboard so everyone sees them in neon<br>Behind the counter she stares out the window<br>Up at the billboard that's like a reminder in neon<br><br>She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror<br>Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon<br>For two cents of danger she'd trust anybody<br>She'd smoke like a gun if it meant she might wind up<br><br>In neon the dreams in the light of a promise that dies<br>A shimmering city, a glimmer of hope and a lie<br>In neon the name's gone there's no reason why anymore<br>Trust them and wind up alone behind a locked door<br><br>In neon, in neon<br><br>Pictures and patterns, the touches of glamour<br>Cut into a fashion that flashes above them in neon<br>A hot cup of coffee held in her fingers<br>A perfect complexion that lingers above her in neon<br><br>She hates how she feels but she hangs like a mirror<br>Maybe a stranger could walk in and see her in neon<br>For a shot at the title, she'd slip into something<br>She'd smoulder like ashes if it meant she might wind up in neon<br><br>In neon
