[Verse 1]
Neon drip on my chrome coat
Fixer whisperin’ sweet eddies in my ear
Got a chipped-up heart and a blackmarket halo
Every handshake here
comes with a smear
Ripper said my soul’s out of warranty
Shot me a smile, then a line of code
I’m just another choom on the braindance freeway
Flatlined hope
on overload
[Chorus]
Night City never sleeps
it just reloads
Another dream gets jacked
another heart gets sold
I’m jazzed out in the backroom glow
soft blue smoke in a hard-edge world
Night City never sleeps
it just reloads
And I keep scrolling
for a cleaner road
[Verse 2]
Joytoys laugh by the alley holo
Netrunner ghost in the corner booth (yeah)
We trade rumors like contraband memories
every glitch got a taste
of truth
Tyger claws on the rooftops lurking
Corpo suits sip fear on ice
I spin tales ‘bout legends who burned too bright
Every run
another roll of the dice
[Chorus]
Night City never sleeps
it just reloads
Another dream gets jacked
another heart gets sold
I’m jazzed out in the backroom glow
soft blue smoke in a hard-edge world
Night City never sleeps
it just reloads
And I keep scrolling
for a cleaner road
[Bridge]
Hey choom, you wired or just worn out?
Got shards of pride in your pocket there
We’re all patched together with zero-day promises
Shared saves
in corrupted air
[Chorus]
Night City never sleeps
it just reloads
Another dream gets jacked
another heart gets sold
I’m jazzed out in the backroom glow
soft blue smoke in a hard-edge world
Night City never sleeps
it just reloads
So I play these changes
‘til the system folds
