Neon
Hooverphonic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This shower will beam us to
A blue changing too yellow scenery
Bus noises all day long
They make you whisper fragile words
Losing energy

And do we belong here
You've got this Dave Berry effect on me
Don't worry
This formula one race
Won't change our space station

Apollo in Germany
You frightened me to death when you fell out of your bed
A bladder can hurt so much
Especially with a Berlin neon hospital touch

And do we belong here
You've got this Dave Berry effect on me
Don't worry
This formula one race
Won't change our space station

And do we belong here
You've got this Dave Berry effect on me
Don't worry
This formula one race
Won't change our space station

And do we belong here
You've got this Dave Berry effect on me
Don't worry




This formula one race
Won't change our space station

The final lines of the chorus assert that a formula one race won't change the "space station," possibly referring to a metaphorical safe space or haven.
