[Intro: Exotic Male Vocals] Yeah Don’t ask me I don’t know and I don’t care either Don’t ask me (Yeah, yeah) [Verse 1] Came from the back of the smoke-filled room Black midi notes dance in a brass band gloom Got a razor in the hi-hat, 808s go boom Flapper on the lap while I plot my doom Dice on the table, that’s my scripture Gin in the glass, let it blur the picture Trap with a tux and a gold cufflink Press that key and the whole block blink Speakeasy, but I still speak facts Snare do the Charleston, kick do the trap Band in the corner with a horn so mean But the bass line talk like a guillotine Moonlight drip off the fedora brim Whole city drown when I decide to swim Ask me nothin’, I’m ghost in the fog Write my name in the ash, then I’m lost in the smog [Chorus] Don’t ask me, I don’t know and I don’t care either I’m just dancin’ with the demons in the jazz club ether Don’t ask me, I don’t know and I don’t care either Let the black midi keys be the mind reader [Post-Chorus: Hook] Don’t ask me I don’t know and I don’t care either Don’t ask me I don’t know and I don’t care either [Verse 2] Pocket-watch swing like a pendulum chain Tick tick talk when I measure my pain Trap drums stomp on the parquet floor Every little secret got a bullet and a score Silk on the collar, but the heart cold steel Talk real slick, but I never cut deals Dice roll twice, that’s a double-time flow Pianist in the corner hit a note too low Chromatic like the crime on a midnight street Snare roll tight like a cop on the beat Champagne bubbles in a cracked gold cup Gangsters in the booth with the collars turned up I’m not your prophet, I’m not your preacher I’m just the ghost in the gramophone speaker Ask one time, I’ll just stare at the floor Ask two times, I’m already out the door [Chorus] Don’t ask me, I don’t know and I don’t care either I’m just dancin’ with the demons in the jazz club ether Don’t ask me, I don’t know and I don’t care either Let the black midi keys be the mind reader [Post-Chorus: Hook] Don’t ask me I don’t know and I don’t care either Don’t ask me I don’t know and I don’t care either [Verse 3] Shadow on the wall where the trumpet cry 808 thunder in a blood-red sky Trap hi-hat tap like a gangster code Every little chirp mean the whole thing blowed Feathers on her dress, but the eyes see knives Everybody gamble with their own short lives Player piano in a nervous trance Thirty-two hands in a single glance Notes overlap like a crooked deal Black midi graph of the way I feel Too many sounds in a small dim room Like too many lies in a silver spoon Don’t ask nothin’ ‘bout the men out back Or why the band keep playin’ when the lights go black I’m not here long, I’m a glitch in the night Just a flicker in the gin and the neon light [Chorus] Don’t ask me, I don’t know and I don’t care either I’m just dancin’ with the demons in the jazz club ether Don’t ask me, I don’t know and I don’t care either Let the black midi keys be the mind reader [Post-Chorus: Hook] Don’t ask me I don’t know and I don’t care either Don’t ask me I don’t know and I don’t care either [Bridge: Exotic Male Vocals] Don’t ask me where I’ve been Don’t ask me what I’ve seen Trumpets scream, trap drums spin I just fade between the scenes Don’t ask me if I’m lost Don’t ask me what it cost I’m the echo in the reverb I’m the coin you never tossed [Final Chorus] Don’t ask me, I don’t know and I don’t care either I’m just dancin’ with the demons in the jazz club ether Don’t ask me, I don’t know and I don’t care either Let the black midi keys be the mind reader [Final Post-Chorus: Hook, Exotic Male Vocals] Don’t ask me I don’t know and I don’t care either Don’t ask me I don’t know and I don’t care either Fade out, fade out I don’t know and I don’t care either
