[Verse 1]
Crumpled bills on the table, wrinkled like my plans,
Whiskey in the glass, smooth, steady in my hands.
Dim lights, neon hum, shadows start to creep,
Late-night whispers where secrets don't sleep.
[Chorus]
Party in the air, the room starts to sway,
Money talks loud, but the blues wanna play.
Girls spinning ‘round, love’s a fleeting thrill,
Alcohol kisses, chasing time to stand still.
[Verse 2]
Cheap perfume lingers, fogging up my mind,
Every look a gamble, every smile a bind.
She got a laugh sharp, cut like a serrated blade,
Love ain’t a promise, just a price to be paid.
[Bridge]
Liquor’s the muse, it spills and it sings,
Money buys the chorus, but the melody stings.
Hands on the clock drunk, spinning out of time,
Searching for the beat in a bottle of wine.
[Verse 3]
Back alley dreams, neon signs that glow,
Where the girls dance slow, and the truth won’t show.
Love's a poker game, I’m all in, no bluff,
Chasing something real in a world that’s rough.
[Chorus]
Party in the air, the room starts to sway,
Money talks loud, but the blues wanna play.
Girls spinning ‘round, love’s a fleeting thrill,
Alcohol kisses, chasing time to stand still.
