Neon magic, a playground for the noise
Got the boys feeling tough, acting rough
Looking for trouble ?
I better mind your tongue
Having fun much too much
Racing cars, hit and run
They try their hardest
To stand out in the crowd, talking loud
Neon girls carrousels
Show off their curlers
Bought some love in vain
That's their game, I keep cool
Out of school, go insane
