Miami Vice in my second-hand ride/
Tinted - looking like it’s straight from ’85/
We got Neon lights like it’s going out of style/
Been ruckus all my life, I could never settle down/
Beat Jordan 3’s, I don’t even keep ‘em clean/
Hoodie and my jacket denim, I got venom for the beats/
Nothing’s what it seems, so just tell me what you see/
In this pair of faded jeans, we just chasing better things, ah yeah/
Running till we’re exhausted/
Top down looking like my own Farah Fawcett/
The land of broken dreams, Dad never had Porsches/
Making fun of rich kids, from the city of orphans/
Let me know that we ain’t going back/
Just make a vow we ain’t going home/
808’s playing, we ain’t ashamed/
Riding through the city now, call it victory lane/
Chorus:
Bright Lights in our city, Neon/
Days seem long so the night’s cruise/
They don’t know the feeling, that we on/
All alone in our world, that is so true/
Some thing’s on my mind, I can’t wait forever/
These days fly right by, so let’s fly together/
Ah woah oh ohh, Woah oh oh ohhh/
(And you know that we’re singing like)
Ah woah oh ohh, Woah oh oh ohhh/
(Blowin' smoke to the city light)
Ah woah oh ohh, Woah oh oh ohhh/
(And you know that we’re singing like)
Ah woah oh ohh, Woah oh oh ohhh/
(Blowin' smoke to the city light)
Verse 2:
Looking like my Dad from the seventies/
Denim shirt, denim bag, denim everything/
Surrounded by a world full of Vanity/
Hated where we’re placed, so we’re living in a fantasy/
Centrefold gold, you’re my wildest dream/
Before the shit went gold, you were riding with me/
You said we’re gonna make it, I’m just dying to see/
Bright light’s in the city, it could light up the streets/
Shotgun sitting, with my girl steering/
Beaten up ride but we ooze cool/
Bright drink in this cup, that my boys sippin’/
I know who’s around before this shit blew/
Driving down Sunset with no fuel/
Can’t afford Rodeo but we will soon/
Skipping school in the park, playing Grinspoon/
Oh when the P’s find out, they ‘bout to ground you/
Chorus x 1
Outro:
Let your hair down, let it down/
Let it breathe, you should let it out/
Don’t ever tell me that you wish we were formal/
These people spend their whole lives tryin’ to be formal/
