[Verse 1]
Looking up, starlight
Take me there, yeah, I wanna fly
[?], bankroll
Wanna feel the rush of the front row
Paycheck late again, barely hanging on to the apartment
Doing it my way, ain't nothing free about the freeway
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm miles off the ground
I'm leaving this [?] city to burn
And I watch it go down
Cause that song gon' take me with it, hey
[Chorus]
And I'm building a fire, fire
I'm building it higher, higher
I'm gonna run this empire-pire
And if I go down in flames
The smoke gonna spell my name
[Verse 2]
Lipstick, red wine
Long nights, it's a lifestyle
So good 'til the last drop
You could see me light up from the rooftops
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm miles off the ground
I'm leaving this [?] city to burn
And I watch it go down
Cause that song gon' take me with it, hey
[Chorus]
And I'm building a fire, fire
I'm building it higher, higher
I'm gonna run this empire-pire
And if I go down in flames
The smoke gonna spell my name
[Chorus]
And I'm building a fire, fire
I'm building it higher, higher
I'm gonna run this empire-pire
And if I go down in flames
The smoke gonna spell my name
