Neon by Travis Stebbins

You left the light on in your room last night
I just came by to see if you're alright
The way the light reflects on top of your skin
Any second further and you'd do me in

What kind of shape has the neon bent you in?
(And yes, this city has shaped you)
With your geometry, they can't box you in
(That doesn't mean they won't try, oh, they will try)

Fluorescent poetry punctuates your face
capitalizes you
Your body language a book I've yet to read
And, yes, long overdue

This city's "Garfield" but you're more "50 Shades"
(You're in a language I can't speak)
It should be easy to say "no" and walk away
(to come back another week)

What kind of shape has the neon bent you in?
(And yes, this city has shaped you)
With your geometry, they can't box you in
(That doesn't mean they won't try, oh, they will try)

(Oh, they will try
Oh, they will try
Oh, they will try,
Oh, they will try)
