[Verse] The neon hum paints the street’s dark spine, A puzzle wrapped in whiskey, a tangled twine. Every clue’s a whisper, every lead’s a lie, In this city of shadows where dreams come to die. [Chorus] Shadows and smoke, the cards I’m dealt, The weight of the world, oh, how it’s felt. A dame in my heart, a case in my hand, I’m the last man standing in no man's land. [Verse 2] Her silhouette lingered like a ghost from the past, Her red-hot lips left a mark too vast. Love and danger, they waltz like thieves, While the night weaves secrets into my sleeves. [Bridge] Oh, the mirror shows a stranger, a man worn thin, Fighting the devils without and the ones within. Each cigarette burns down my restless tide, With every step forward, I lose more inside. [Chorus] Shadows and smoke, the choices I made, A life of chasing truth, yet I’m always betrayed. A dame in my heart, a case in my hand, I’m the last man standing in no man's land. [Verse 3] The city's alive, she breathes fate and scars, A labyrinth of alleys beneath fading stars. The killer’s moves are chess played in the dark, But the queen of my heart leaves the deepest mark.
