To the neon God they made.

In the words that it was forming.

Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know.

There's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black

It's just imagination they lack.
