It was nothing but a Tuesday and it's nothing but the rain
But the pavement caught the pharmacy and held it in the glow
Every letter of the sign was doing something down below
And the water made it wobble and the wobble made it slow
Oh I stood there like an idiot for twenty minutes, so
You can say it's just a puddle and it's easy to explain
But the prettiest cathedral of the year was in a drain
And I'll never get it back and I will never quite complain
Neon in the puddle, neon in the puddle
All the best things in the city are the ones nobody found
All the best things are an accident of water on the ground
And the loudest thing that happened didn't make a single sound
Oh the holy and the ordinary hang around
Neon in the puddle, in the beautiful muddle
Where the streetlight and the rainwater are doing a double
And it's free, and it's enormous, and it's only in the puddle
There's a guy who sells umbrellas and he never shuts it down
There's a girl inside a doorway on the telephone all night
There's a dog who thinks the puddle is a monster he could fight
And the pharmacy above it keeps on blinking red and white
Oh I love this filthy corner and I love it in this light
It's a nowhere, it's a nothing, it's the ugliest in town
But I've stood in famous places with my famous camera down
And I never felt as lucky as I feel right here, downtown
Neon in the puddle, neon in the puddle
All the best things in the city are the ones nobody found
All the best things are an accident of water on the ground
And the loudest thing that happened didn't make a single sound
Oh the holy and the ordinary hang around
Neon in the puddle, in the beautiful muddle
Where the streetlight and the rainwater are doing a double
And it's free, and it's enormous, and it's only in the puddle
In the morning it will dry and all the magic drains away
And the pharmacy goes back to being only what they are
And the puddle goes to nowhere and it doesn't travel far
And there's nothing in the gutter but a gutter and a car
Oh but I was there, I saw it, and I know now what we are
We're a hundred thousand people in an accidental play
And the set design is glorious and nobody will pay
And it happens every evening and it happened yesterday
