Neon Lights
Molotov Jukebox Lyrics

Let me finish before I begin,
The singer wants to make a point before starting to speak

Speakers cornered by this London Djinn
The singer feels confined by the mesmerizing city of London

Gift of the gab, with no sleep,
The singer is skilled in the art of persuasive speech, even though they are sleep deprived

Speed bumps speed dating, all week,
The artist's week is filled with abrupt pauses and unexpected surprises, much like speed bumps during a car ride

She's got a rush hour glass figure,
The woman referred to has a figure like an hourglass and is always in a hurry during rush hour

And the city boys picking up the tab for her,
Men from the city are paying for her expenses

She's a carnival flower,
The woman referred to is bright and colorful, like a flower at a carnival

And she's watered by the songs the streets sing her
The woman finds inspiration in the music of the streets and it keeps her going

Neon lights are the stars of the city
The bright lights of the city represent the status and glamor of the place

She's got teeth, red lips, red lights no pity,
The woman has a striking appearance and a cold demeanor

So I guess we'll do it her way
The singer will follow the lead of the woman referred to

Her immigrant parents, night and day,
The woman's parents work tirelessly to provide for their family in a foreign country

Poured their lives into this London clay,
The parents have invested their entire lives in building a future for their family in London

She's Nigerian Spanish, a Turkish delight,
The woman is of mixed heritage, including Nigerian and Spanish roots, and is a source of pleasure to the Turkish population

Jamaican wedding so an Israelite,
The woman was born at a Jamaican wedding and is of Israeli descent

She a cockney trouble and strife,
The woman is a troublemaker in the Cockney neighborhood

She's got muscles and cockles and special fried rice,
The woman is strong and has a taste for traditional British seafood and cuisine

If she's past the prime and her life,
The woman may be past her youth and prime, but is still admired

Why do they still check her out from the corner of their eyes?
People still find the woman attractive and are curious about her, even if they don't openly show it

Constellations of her rough romantic pity,
The woman's emotional struggles make up the rough but romantic constellations in the sky

With a voice like that,
The woman has a captivating voice

She's calling with a promise and a smile that she might pay back,
The woman is making promises with a charming smile, but may not follow through
