VERSE
Well you're a little bit older than you used to be
and you're a little bit bolder, you can't get it for free
You know the lights of the city, they're all shining on you
and all the money class shooters, they're all shooting you too

then you say, come closer
let me be, your cover
can I play, your lover

you know that nothing is too easy but you
you realize that hollow feeling
it leaves you burning inside
you can't run and hide.

VERSE
You know your friends all tell you LAs where you want to be
but you knew better, New York City, it just set you free
You think that everyone in power's just yours to please
You really took the city over like a lethal disease

then you say, come closer
let me be, your cover
can I play, your lover

you really think you got it covered but you
wind up beaten up and smothered, just a
one night stand, that got out of hand.

VERSE
Well you're a whole lot older than you used to be
and you're a whole lot bolder still can't ge it for free
and all the money class shooters, they don't care what you do

then you say, come closer
let me be, your cover
can I play, your lover
