\[intro]
\[verse 1]
Barcode halo, midnight till close
You talk in coupons, I talk in IOUs
Bassline credit, balance on fumes
We dance like interest compounding the room
\[pre-chorus]
Tap-tap—snare rush, panic at the till
Your promise declines but I’m footing the thrill
\[chorus]
**Neon debt—charge it to the night**
**Pay me out in advance, pay me out in advance**
**If love costs light, then flicker till it’s bright**
**Pay me out in advance, pay me out in advance**
**I don’t want change—I want the whole romance**
**Neon debt—pay me out in advance**
\[verse 2]
Receipt-print sermons curl in the heat
You say “forever,” I hear “limited seat”
Your gloss is a loaner, mine’s repossessed
I overdraft faith, you comp the regret
\[pre-chorus]
Click-click—snare rush, register cough
We’re buying tomorrow with what we wrote off
\[chorus]
**Neon debt—charge it to the night**
**Pay me out in advance, pay me out in advance**
**If love costs light, then flicker till it’s bright**
**Pay me out in advance, pay me out in advance**
\[bridge]
Mark it “gift”—no refund, no proof
Gilded decline under blacklight truth
Clock on the wall says “try again soon”
I spend my lungs on a borrowed tune
\[breakdown]
Swipe / sign / settle / dance
**Snare rush—don’t give me the chance**
Swipe / sign / settle / dance
**Neon says yes—pay me in advance**
\[final chorus]
**Neon debt—charge it to the night**
**Pay me out in advance, pay me out in advance**
**If love costs light, then flicker till it’s bright**
**Pay me out in advance, pay me out in advance**
**No small bills—give me the whole romance**
**Neon debt—pay me out in advance**
\[outro]
Card machine sleeping / green LED trance
Tab stays open / pay me out in advance.
