Skyscraper Brews

Verse 1

Silver dunes

Sand is burning through my expensive shoes

I came

I saw

I bought a pint

Hazy heat

Thick enough to chew on the street

Sweat drops

Cold glass

Taps are flowing fast

Chorus

Gold in the glass

I'm drinking gold in the glass

A long way from the delta

A long way from the mud

Gold in the glass

I'm drinking gold in the glass

Washing down the desert

Washing down the blood

Verse 2

Burj rises

Steel needles stabbing the heavy blue

Skyscraper blues

Skyscraper views

Skyscraper news

One sip

Chilled to the marrow

Drowning out the heat with a shallow brew

Thirsty

Bone dry

Looking for a reason to fly

Chorus

Gold in the glass

I'm drinking gold in the glass

A long way from the delta

A long way from the mud

Gold in the glass

I'm drinking gold in the glass

Washing down the desert

Washing down the blood

Bridge

Copper strings and chrome machines

Left the crossroads for the luxury

Nothing's free

Except the air I breathe

Wait

The air is heavy

The beer is heavy

The bill is heavy

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Gold in the glass

I'm drinking gold in the glass

A long way from the delta

A long way from the mud

Gold in the glass

I'm drinking gold in the glass

Washing down the desert

Washing down the blood

Outro

Just another round

Just another town

Just another sound

In the sand

I'm the man

With a glass in my hand

Yeah

Cooling down

Staying down

Way down
