Lyrics
[Verse 1] I left my name on the window In the smoke from a borrowed ride You had gold in your fingernails And a bruise on the other side We were laughing in the gutter With our shoes all soaked in rain You said, "Baby, keep it moving" Like you knew my middle name [Pre-Chorus] Now the night’s got teeth And it won’t let go You pull me close Then you let me know [Chorus] Dirty skyline, take me higher Dirty skyline, burn like fire Hold me tight in the fallout glow Dirty skyline, don’t let go Dirty skyline, take me higher (Dirty skyline) Dirty skyline, burn like fire (hold me close) [Verse 2] There’s a ring around the taxi glass Where your breath made a little storm You kept your luck in a red scarf And your heart in a thrift-store form I still taste that salt and metal When you said, “Let’s make a run” Past the junkyard, past the sirens Past the place where we came undone [Pre-Chorus] Now the night’s got teeth And it won’t let go You pull me close Then you let me know [Chorus] Dirty skyline, take me higher Dirty skyline, burn like fire Hold me tight in the fallout glow Dirty skyline, don’t let go Dirty skyline, take me higher (Dirty skyline) Dirty skyline, burn like fire (hold me close) [Bridge] If I fall, let me fall with you If I break, let it split in two We can wear these scars like chains Still the same wild flame [Final Chorus] Dirty skyline, take me higher Dirty skyline, burn like fire Hold me tight in the fallout glow Dirty skyline, don’t let go Dirty skyline, take me higher (Dirty skyline) Dirty skyline, burn like fire (hold me close)
