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

John, Elton In Neon Comments
Uma das melhores de Elton Jonh
Wonderful underrated song from breaking hearts of 1984.
Apologies to whom uploaded this, but there is a much better quality
video of this (I don't know how to put in links- sorry) at the channel
Som Na Caixa-Suce that only has 219 views. This version is phenomenal- plus it has the ending.
Heartbreaking, I used to sing this and wind up sobbing. It's one of Elton John's forgotten songs, I just read that it's about Marilyn, but the video has children playing little adults? I still wonder what the inspiration was behind this, and is it a message or a warning aimed at a young naive girl?
No puede uno dejar de escuchar y ver una tras otra las joyitas que tienen de tantos artistas de todas las épocas, Felicidades. CHICAGO mi Banda favorita.
LOVE breaking hearts CD
Always one of favorites by Elton. Never understood why it didn't do better on the charts. Love it.
Mine too!
it's from Breaking Hearts not Ice On Fire.
Love all this album, know every word to each song. Huge fan
Seeing this video takes me back decades ago, when life was so much simpler.
I think it was on MTV or it could have been VH1. So long ago I can't remember.
entered Billboard Dec 1, 1984 ..reached #38 (this is MONO)
This is from Breaking Hearts, but why does the video say Ice On Fire? Wtf?
That was really a great Album , It was maybe Elton's best Album of the 80"s
BH FOX Empty sky RSB ALL #1 and all underated
OMG! I can't believe I forgot about this. I was obsessed with this song when it came out!
Al Pay Me too. Forgot all about it
I was obsessed with the album !
Me too! I LOVED this song!
i didnt know this song has a promo music video~
Great song and underated.
soo good
this song went to #38 on the pop charts in 1985.
I agree with you. Love this song.
25 yrs later this still makes me cry. thanks so much for posting the original video, reminding me of the days when MTV still played music
I have always loved this song and the video! Why isn't this song on Elton's Greatest Hits? Thanks for a great walk down memory lane! :)
Because it wasn't a big hit. Barely cracked the top 40.
They got the album wrong - this song was from "Breaking Hearts", not "Ice On Fire!"
To me, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever . . . absolutely love it.
i love sir elton john s music......beautiful song and video......he really writes great music....
@ovsiencothebest I guess he didn't think enought of it to do live. Even by 1984 he had a ton of songs to choose from to perform. You can only play so many.
Btw, Bernie Taupin directed this video.
