Lyrics Robert Calvert

Robert Calvert

The Luminous Green Glow Of The Dials On The Dashboard

The digital read-out of the fuel and the pressure

The flickering needle of time overloading

The glare of the headlights reverts in the distance

The luminous green glow of the dials on the dashboard at night

The nebula city's like a video coin-game

On the curved screen of real-time the lights blink like radar

The radio static, white noise fluctuations

The changes of accent as you glide through the stations

The luminous green glow of the dials on the dashboard at night

I feel like a pilot in my button-down cockpit

Flying nuclear missions, fly over the tarmac

The luminous green glow of the dials on the dashboard at night

Spot-lit intersection indicate overtaking

Turn down the dip-switch, the world's just a blurred frame

Peripheral detuned forever perspective

Morse code off the white line, the motorway flare path

The service is neon, a jukebox of concrete

The luminous green glow of the dials on the dashboard at night
