White sand, but di water bleed Too many dream die inna de street She countin' coin for a one-way ride [Female backing]: (one-way... one-way...) While shadow stretch an' de vulture hide From rusted frame to shinin' chrome Vice City never feel like home [Female backing]: (no home... no home...) Halogen flicker on her tired face [Female backing]: (don't look back) Searchin' for a sign she can’t erase From velvet night to swampy mud We trade we soul for sweat an' blood [Female backing]: (for what?... for what?...) Oh, Vice City — electric liar! (liar... liar...) Yuh sell de dream, den cut de wire [Female backing]: (gone... it’s gone...) We burn fast, we nuh retire Just shades dancin' inna de fire! (fire... fire...) Five star fade when de mornin' break Bill still smell like someone mistake [Female backing]: (wash it off... wash it off...) De strip club glow is a dyin' spark We just number fadin' inna de dark She say "one more job" wit' a hollow stare But de exit sign lead to nowhere [Female backing]: (nowhere...) Siren fade inna de heavy haze Lost forever inna velvet maze De city always collect de debt [Female backing]: (always... always...) Inna cloud of smoke an' silhouette Oh, Vice City — electric liar! [Delay]: (liar... liar...) Yuh sell de dream, den cut de wire [Female backing]: (watch it burn...) We burn fast, we nuh retire Just shades dancin' inna de fire! "Suspect vehicle located... empty. Just a one-way ticket on the dashboard." "Mama said don't trust dat gold... now her voice a-growin' cold." Oh, Vice City — electric liar! [Female backing]: (liar... why...?) Yuh sell de dream, den cut de wire [Female backing]: (we’re gone... we’re gone...) We burn fast, we nuh retire Just shades dancin' inna de fire! "She still countin' coin tonight..." [Female backing]: (same night... every night...) "Still countin'... inna de Vice..." [Female backing]: (never leave... no way out...)
