Underworld In Your Eyes

You walked in

Whole room got quiet

White suit

Red stain on the pocket

Gold ring

Heavy on your trigger hand

You sat down

Said "Baby

What’s the plan?"

Card game

Smoke curling in the ceiling

You read tells while I’m reading what I’m feeling

We run towns

But we never run from fights

Funny how I’m scared of you tasting my life

Mob boss hearts in a backroom tangle

Two sharp minds in a slow-love strangle

Cold world cash in our painted nails

But I’m soft for you when the power fails

We got scars

We got guns

We got alibis

Still the wildest crime is the way you look in my eyes

You pour bourbon over chipped ice

Laughing

Saying

"All these men keep underestimating"

You slide half your empire across the table

"Take it

" you murmur

"if you’re really able"

Sirens hum somewhere past the harbor

You trace my throat

Ask who I’d die for

I say your name like a whispered secret

You say mine like a promise you intend to keep it

[low vocal register] Hide the money in the floorboards

Hide the bodies in the ground

But leave our kisses on the doorway

So we always find our way back around

[falsetto harmonies] Let the bullets fly where they wanna

Let the rumors run their mouths

I’ll hold your face in the crossfire

Choose you when it all goes south
