Lyrics

Verse 1

Midnight on the dash, city drippin' in the rain

Neon on the cup, purple galaxies in chains

Pocket full of ghosts, they rattlin' my jeans

Money counter screamin' like a broken limousine

Chrome teeth in the dark, everybody playin' hard

Engine fresh off the lot, black comet in the yard

Bass knock through the ribs, make the whole room cave in

Bills stacked to the lamp, watch the blue light cave in

She dance too close, glitter fallin' on my shoe

Perfume, cigarette smoke, red nails on the coupe

I came up where the sirens sang louder than the choir

Now the sun catch me awake, countin' ash beside the fire

Hook

Till the morning rise, I'm countin' paper, countin' paper

Till the morning rise, dark windows, dark favors

Till the morning rise, new wheels cut through vapor

Till the morning rise, I can't let the night break us

Verse 2

I know the alley names, know the stain on every brick

Know the look a man wear when his heartbeat start to twitch

Tint low, eyes red, moon drownin' in the glass

Whole room move slow when the shadow of me pass

Bought that brand new car just to hear the silence purr

Leather smell, cold wheel, all my doubts a distant blur

Hands in the air, gold light shakin' off her waist

Laugh sharp as a blade when she throw it in my face

Still the dawn at the blinds got a way of tellin' truth

Purple rings in the sink, little cracks around the roof

All this paper on the table, all this smoke above my head

And the birds start singin' like they don't know what I did

Hook

Till the morning rise, I'm countin' paper, countin' paper

Till the morning rise, dark windows, dark favors

Till the morning rise, new wheels cut through vapor

Till the morning rise, I can't let the night break us

Bridge

Blue lights in the mirror turn the trophies into scars

Sunlight on the hood don't erase where we are

Every dollar got a whisper, every whisper got a name

I keep drivin' through the dark, but the dark know mine the same

Hook

Till the morning rise, I'm countin' paper, countin' paper

Till the morning rise, dark windows, dark favors

Till the morning rise, new wheels cut through vapor

Till the morning rise, I can't let the night break us
