Dopamine

(album: It's Hard To Be Alone - 2020)

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
