Alright…
Yeah yeah don’t tune it too much
Let it breathe
Okay… one two…

Woke up late with the room still shaking
Ashtray full of things I didn’t say
Mirror asks me for an explanation
I tell it “man not today”

Shoes by the door still smell like last night
Clock keeps lying I let it talk
City hums in a crooked rhythm
Like it learned that walk from me

Hey bass… keep it walking
Yeah like that
Don’t rush it

Every plan I make shows up half dressed
Every promise comes out second best
If I fall behind the beat again
Just leave some space I’ll land it then

This ain’t a straight line it sways and bends
It trips on truth then calls it a friend
If I sound wrong don’t fix it too soon
That’s where the story sneaks through

Yeah this ain’t clean this ain’t controlled
It’s a loose wire looking for a soul
Play it wrong play it loud play it true
That’s all this blues knows how to do

Hold up…
Let the horn say something
Yeah… go on

(long slide in slightly late)

Mmm… listen

Man… that thing’s complaining
Let him talk

I’m almost done… almost

Sorry… not sorry

(rimshot)

There’s a voice in my head clapping off time
Says “You always push you never wait”
I said “If I slow down I might notice
Everything I try to escape”

Barroom light keeps flickering jokes
Like it knows where I’ve been
Every sound wants a turn at the mic
Even the quiet wants in

Yeah… that’s it
Don’t smooth it out
No no

If this night’s a gamble I roll it bent
Lose my balance call it intent
Break the rule then play it twice
Mess it up till it sounds right

This ain’t a straight line it sways and bends
Falls apart then stands again
If my voice cracks just let it through
That’s what it came here to do

Yeah this ain’t neat this ain’t polite
It’s just breath fighting with the night
Play it wrong play it loud play it true
That’s all this blues knows how to do

Alright…
Don’t stop it
Let it ring
Yeah… that’s enough

Step aside I’m walking in
Glitter on my skin let the night begin

I built my fire from the ground
Every beat I own it shakes the crowd
No one’s gonna dim my shine
I write the rules the stage is mine

Raise your glass feel the heat
Every heartbeat moves your feet
Can you taste the victory?
It’s the sound of living free

I’m unstoppable unforgettable
Turn the lights up I’m electrical
Every move is loud unbreakable
This is my crown undeniable

(Oh oh oh… dance it dance it)
(Oh oh oh… can’t resist it)

I see reflections in the floor
Every step’s an open door
Breaking chains with every song
You can’t silence what is strong

Raise your glass feel the heat
Every heartbeat moves your feet
Can you taste the victory?
It’s the sound of living free

I’m unstoppable unforgettable
Turn the lights up I’m electrical
Every move is loud unbreakable
This is my crown undeniable

Clap your hands we won’t stop
Feel the rhythm watch it drop
Power surging through my veins
This empire knows my name

I’m unstoppable unforgettable
Turn the lights up I’m electrical
Every move is loud unbreakable
This is my crown undeniable

Let the night remember me
Queen of fire wild and free
Every echo every sound
This is where my heart is crowned

[Intro]
City pulse
Turn it up
시동 걸어
We don’t stop

Late ride clean mood
Windows down smooth groove
No big talk just move
Tonight we choose the view

도로 위에 번진 빛
우리만의 작은 scene
신호가 바뀌면 go
심장은 faster low

천천히 올라가는 speed
But we keep it clean
너와 나의 timing
딱 맞아 like a dream

숨이 조금 뜨거워져
Bass가 몸을 밀어
말은 짧게 눈은 길게
이 밤을 더 열어

City pulse city pulse
속도를 올려 feel the rush
City pulse city pulse
오늘 밤은 all for us

Left right slide
차갑게 빛나는 drive
City pulse city pulse
We ride we ride we ride

City pulse city pulse
기분은 높게 volume up
City pulse city pulse
멈추기엔 너무 young

Turn switch fly
기억에 남을 tonight
City pulse city pulse
We ride we ride we ride

Black jacket soft bass
Good vibe no waste
I see the city on your face
Every second finds its place

핸들 위에 얹은 손
리듬 따라 가는 선
바람이 지나가면
웃음이 먼저 터져

[Rap]
Okay shift it
밤의 온도 lift it
Too smooth don’t miss it
우리 둘만 fit it

속도는 올라가도
머리는 차갑게 둬
Fun mode control
우린 선을 알고 go

Turn left turn right
작은 길도 feels nice
No noise just style
웃어 봐 one more mile

천천히 올라가는 speed
But we keep it clean
너와 나의 timing
딱 맞아 like a dream

숨이 조금 뜨거워져
Bass가 몸을 밀어
말은 짧게 눈은 길게
이 밤을 더 열어

City pulse city pulse
속도를 올려 feel the rush
City pulse city pulse
오늘 밤은 all for us

Left right slide
차갑게 빛나는 drive
City pulse city pulse
We ride we ride we ride

City pulse city pulse
기분은 높게 volume up
City pulse city pulse
멈추기엔 너무 young

Turn switch fly
기억에 남을 tonight
City pulse city pulse
We ride we ride we ride

잠깐만 속도를 낮춰
이 순간을 더 봐줘
급하지 않아도 돼
우린 이미 충분해

If you laugh I know
If I smile you know
다음 길이 열리면
다시 올라가 let’s go

[Final Chorus]
City pulse city pulse
속도를 올려 feel the rush
City pulse city pulse
오늘 밤은 all for us

Left right slide
차갑게 빛나는 drive
City pulse city pulse
We ride we ride we ride

City pulse city pulse
기분은 높게 volume up
City pulse city pulse
멈추기엔 너무 young

Turn switch fly
기억에 남을 tonight
City pulse city pulse
We ride we ride we ride

시동은 켜져
기분은 더 커져
City pulse
We ride we ride

Slow down…
Don’t wake the fire
It already knows
Who I am

Dust hangs low where the old road bends
Every scar still remembers friends
I don’t ask if tomorrow stays
I just count the smoke instead of days

One cold wind
One tired hand
Trying to build
What never stands

Every prayer arrives
Wearing different clothes
Maybe heaven answers
Maybe nobody knows

Hold your flame
Don’t hide your face
Even broken walls
Can become a place

If the night
Calls out my name
I’ll answer slow
Just the same

Hold your flame…
Don’t let it fade

My father’s coat still smells like rain
Every pocket keeps a different pain
Coins grow heavy
Truth grows light
Some men disappear
Before the fight

I don’t need another miracle
Only one more mile to walk
The silence speaks
Louder than angels
When nobody talks

Hold your flame
Across the storm
Nothing living
Stays untouched or warm

If I fall
Don’t call my name
Just leave the fire…
Exactly where it came

The ashes know my name…
The ashes know…
My name…

We've all seen a Tom
Rich man pass the baton
Godspeed big shoe
Stay loose and make it move

Try not to escape
Practice neatness in penmanship
Absolutely no finder's fee
We're rolling long haul

In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
And then in about a week it'll haunt me
In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
Underneath the leaves slowly terminating

Creating a community without a dichotomy
Reject the king
Malefactor sing
Find your reality
Oh say church

I don't want to return to scorched earth
Or roll around in the dirt
Or skip over those who got hurt

In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
And then in about a week it'll haunt me
In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
Underneath the leaves slowly terminating

We are nice to be behind
But heavens no
We are not leading
And there's not much time left

In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
And then in about a week it'll haunt me
In fifteen minutes it'll perturb me
Underneath the leaves slowly terminating

Slow wind on the empty street
Boots drag through the drifting heat
Shadows stretch across the town
One more sun is going down

Boardwalk creaks beneath my feet
Every sound repeats the beat
Windows closed and curtains drawn
Like this place has long been gone

Cards still lie upon the bar
Someone left a broken star
Dust is dancing in the light
Waiting for the coming night

Dust between the guns tonight
No one here to call it right
Every breath a loaded sound
Spinning slowly all around

Hands are steady hearts are slow
Every man already knows
When the silence starts to fall
No one leaves this street at all

Leather creaks across the lane
Every step repeats the same
Eyes are narrow time is thin
Like a clock about to spin

Old sign sways above the door
Scratching echoes on the floor
Somewhere far a trumpet cries
Like a warning in disguise

Dust between the guns tonight
No one here to call it right
Every breath a loaded sound
Spinning slowly all around

Hands are steady hearts are slow
Every man already knows
When the silence starts to fall
No one leaves this street at all

Wind moves softly through the town
One last figure lying down
Sun sinks red behind the plain
Only dust will stay again

You left your coat on the back of my chair
A silent reminder that you were there
Coffee's gone cold but I still sip slow
Tracing the patterns where your fingers go

I replay conversations word for word
Searching for meanings I might've heard
But silence speaks louder than our last fight
And I'm alone with the fading light

I don't need a map to feel lost
Every step forward comes at a cost
You were the compass I used to trust
Now I'm navigating through the dust

Your records still spin on repeat
Each note a memory I can't delete
Walls echo with the songs we knew
Now they're just melodies without you

I write letters I'll never send
Drafting apologies that won't mend
The distance grows with every line
Yet I can't cross this fault of mine

I don't need a map to feel lost
Every step forward comes at a cost
You were the compass I used to trust
Now I'm navigating through the dust

Maybe time will chart a new course
One where regrets show no remorse
But until then I'll walk this line
Between your past and future mine

I don't need a map to feel lost
Every step forward comes at a cost
You were the compass I used to trust
Now I'm navigating through the dust

I found it in a Sunday ad
Between a sofa and a wedding band
“Barely used no questions asked”
The seller wore a borrowed name

He said it worked on jealous hearts
On hotel clerks and parking guards
I paid in cash he wished me luck
Then vanished before the light changed

I practiced every detail
The hour the street the rain
But truth has lousy manners
It keeps interrupting names

I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me twice
Now every version sounds like mine

I bought a secondhand alibi
With someone else’s reasons inside
The story held the timing died
Now every version sounds like mine

I said the train was running late
You knew that line from ’98
I blamed a man I’d never met
You said “At least invent him well”

I moved the evening half an hour
Changed the bar replaced the car
By then the lie had better shoes
And more ambition than the truth

I gave it dates and weather
A witness and a scar
You watched me build the ceiling
Then asked where the foundations are

I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me twice
Now every version sounds like mine

I bought a secondhand alibi
With someone else’s reasons inside
The story held the timing died
Now every version sounds like mine

Mine on Monday
Mine by five
Mine when I need
Someone else to survive

The seller called at 2:13
Said “That excuse belongs to me”
I told him he could have it back
He laughed and said “You made it yours”

You poured your drink into the sink
Not angry almost entertained
You said “The worst part isn’t this
It’s how rehearsed you look in pain”

So here’s the part I didn’t buy
No clever date no useful guy
I stayed because I liked the risk
I left because you noticed it

No missing train no broken phone
No nameless friend to take the blame
I wanted two incompatible things
And called confusion by your name

I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me why
Now every version sounds like mine

I bought a secondhand alibi
But guilt was never in the price
Keep the story keep the night
Every version sounds like mine

The truth was sitting in the car
Patient as an unpaid fare
I opened up the passenger door
It said “You took your time”

Yeah-eh uh-huh na-na-na-na
We’re outta control — oh!

Midnight city glitter eyes
I’m not your type but you still try
Too many stories on my phone
but tonight I’m writing my own

All my friends in slow-mo frames
dancing wild forgetting names
Heartbeat syncs with stereo —
I don’t care just let it go! (uh-huh)

Out of control (uh!)
I’m losing my halo (yeah!)
Lights are on fire (ah!)
don’t need no hero!
Spin me around let the rhythm roll —
we’re out of out of out of control!

Glitter lips and candy lies
you say forever I say “bye”
Mirror selfies broken heels
still look good — that’s how it feels

No regrets no morning calls
we own the night we take it all
Heartbeat syncs with stereo —
don’t slow down just let it go! (o-oh)

Out of control (uh!)
I’m losing my halo (yeah!)
Lights are on fire (ah!)
don’t need no hero!
Spin me around let the rhythm roll —
we’re out of out of out of control!

O-oh no rules tonight
we’re neon high on satellite
O-oh one touch I’m gone —
my chaos turns me on!

Out of control (uh!)
I’m losing my halo (yeah!)
No one to blame no one to know
we’re out of out of out of control!

She blows into town on a street bike
With her hair done up in cornrows
Gets off the gas like a hot dam
Wearing all pink head to toe

She steps into the bar like a cannonball
All the folks turn around like an old saw
She orders three shots
Honey on the rocks
And a Manhattan in her straw

She ain't here for long but she still shows
People come and go but she always knows
She ain't one for crowds and she never bows
But she still sold every row

Said a bad word one time in a nightclub
Said "Oops
That's too far"
Always says thank you to the bartender
Always says "Please
" "Oops
That's too far"

She steps into the bar like a cannonball
All the folks turn around like an old saw
She orders three shots
Honey on the rocks
And a Manhattan in her straw

She ain't here for long but she still shows
People come and go but she always knows
She ain't one for crowds and she never bows
But she still sold every row

The summer nights
They call her name
The winter months
They call in vain
When she's there
People can't complain
The streets are flooded from the rain

She ain't here for long but she still shows
People come and go but she always knows
She ain't one for crowds and she never bows
But she still sold every row

Seventh Avenue 2 AM
You had your jacket on I had nowhere to be then
Yellow cabs blurring past the rain
You said my name like it was something you wanted to keep
Rooftop views and corner store wine
You made this city feel like it was only mine
But New York doesn't stop for anyone
And neither did you when you were done

I still hear the subway underground
Every time I'm trying not to think about
The way you laughed when the lights went out

New York I loved you
But I loved him more
And he left like the L train
Through a closing door
I still got the skyline

I still got the rain
But baby loving you was my
Most beautiful pain

Brooklyn bridge on a Saturday
You took my picture like you planned to stay
I framed it hung it on the wall
Took it down in November when the leaves would fall
You were Harlem jazz at midnight
I was trying to be your home
But some men love a city
More than they'll ever love you alone

I still walk the same blocks we used to share
Turn the corner half-expecting you'd be there
(yeah…)
But the city just stares
(just stares…)

New York I loved you
But I loved him more
And he left like the L train
Through a closing door
I still got the skyline
I still got the rain
But baby loving you was my
Most beautiful pain
(most beautiful…)

This city taught me everything I know
How to hold on
(hold on)

How to let go
(let go)
How to stand in the middle of a million souls
And still feel whole
(feel whole…)
New York didn't break me

He just set the scene
(mm)
And I was never really lost
I just hadn't found me
(found me…)
(ohhhh)

New York I loved you
(loved you)
And I love me now
(now)
Traded in the heartbreak
For my own vow
(yeah)

Still got the skyline
Still got the rain
(the rain…)
And baby — that pain
Made me everything
(everything…)
mmmh…
