Governing Dynamics - Chiba City Blues

from SpinTunes #16 Round 1 by Spintunes

/

about

My scene is from Neuromancer by William Gibson.

lyrics

Gray television sky, tuned to a long dead station
Round here what passes for a joke is background radiation
A steely smile at the bar never lets you forget where you are

Another year gone, I dream in neon
Cut the corners, a hustler and a mourner
No angels in this silence who could abide this violence

They'll take us anywhere we never knew we wanted to go
They have forgotten more than we could ever hope to know

Still the unreal things that make me ache the most
Asleep in my coffin fingers clawing at the foam
Night City spectres looking less and less like hope

I haven't got a girl, you know I'm bleeding money
Call me your court artiste, I know you think you're funny
Some day I'm gonna find my way over the wall into the light

Still the unreal things that make me ache the most
Asleep in my coffin fingers clawing at the foam
Night City spectres looking less and less like hope

Can't stop speeding I'll start thinking if I take is slow
Catch my reflection in a mirror of blood-smeared chrome

Still the unreal things that make me ache the most
Asleep in my coffin fingers clawing at the foam
Night City spectres looking less and less like hope
