The Neon Underground is a song about the underground dance clubs of my younger years. I recorded the original version (still here - scroll way down....) in 2004. This version has been completely re-recorded with my Oscillator X partner Kyle Ward for our upcoming CD. I decided to re-record it to update the sound quality and to get it into Ableton Live so that we can add it to our live set.

Lyrics
The Neon Underground
I know it may seem frightening
To take a look inside
At the same time enticing
Don�t get uptight, just glide�
I know it might disturb you
You want to take that chance
No one is here to hurt you
Just get f***ed up and dance (*Just get up and dance)
Ahh ahh ahh
Welcome to the neon underground
Ahh ahh ahh
Welcome to the neon underground
The dance floor�s throbbing, pulsing,
Smoke and sex in the air (*smoke and scents in the air)
Like cyborgs interfacing
Every nerve aware
Dancing can be subversive
Feel so alive and free
And yet so universal
Since ancient history
Just glide�
Bridge:
Androgyny and darkness
Synthetic love affairs
Laser beams and drum machines
And neon colored hair
The original sin in latex skin
Under ultraviolet light
Fog machines and extacy
Cyber children of the night...
