Neon Saddles In The Stars

[Static on the radio…

“Any cowboys out there… still ridin’?”]

⸻

Wakin’ up in a tin can dawn

Coffee floating, boots still on

Neon planets pass me by

Like old lovers fading into stars

Got a map with no straight lines

Every star, a different sign

Heard there’s men on Orion’s belt

Who kiss like trouble and burn like hell

⸻

I’ve been drifting star to star

Following a trail to wherever you are

Now something in the void pulls me to you

Like I’m getting close

Closer to you

⸻

I’m your space cowboy, right by your side

Shooting through the midnight sky

Kiss like trouble, sparks will fly

Neon saddles in the stars

Stay all night, don’t say goodbye

Hey space cowboy, you’re my type

Hit my signal, I’ll reply

Neon saddles in the stars

⸻

Met you on Mars last June

Danced too fast, left too soon

Left his jacket in my spaceship

Still thinking about his swaying hips

Venus bars and laser dives

Flirting just to feel alive

Every port’s a “one last time”

But your signal’s still on my mind

⸻

I’m a space cowboy, ridin’ with you

Through the dark where the wild things bloom

No more runnin’, no more void

I finally found my assteroid

Call me reckless, call me lost

I’d cross every line

no matter the costs

If you’re out there, send a sign

Baby,

I’ll rewrite the stars in the sky

(background / echo)

Kiss like trouble… ride all niiiiight

[Radio crackles…

“…thought I was the only one…”]
