Dopamine

Eyes flash in the dark Can I give you a hit for your pinball heart? It's not Heaven but it's a start So lightly we tread You were calling me up from your hospital bed Now we're doing it all again It's the beat in your chest It's the smoke on your breath As the dopamine begins to light your eyes There's nothing but the dust and dirt to keep us optimized And my heart is singing, screaming, "I'm alive" Oh, darling, if we end it all at least you're by my side And we can never die You dance sugar-sweet Wearing nothing but furs and the shoes on your feet Who knows when we'll meet again And it's always the same See the drink couldn't wash out the taste of your name Can you tell me it's not the end? It's the beat in your chest It's the smoke on your breath As the dopamine begins to light your eyes There's nothing but the dust and dirt to keep us up tonight And my heart is singing, screaming "I'm alive" Oh, darling, if we end it all at least you're by my side And we can never die We can never die As the dopamine begins to light your eyes There's nothing but the dust and dirt to keep us up tonight And my heart is singing, screaming, "I'm alive" Oh, darling, if we end it all at least you're by my side And we can never die --- Dopamine - Barns Courtney
