“One More Before the Lights Go Out”

Lyrics credit: ChatGPT 4o “One More Before the Lights Go Out” (Verse 1) The city hums, a broken tune, the air tastes sharp and dry, The clocks don’t work, the streets don’t talk, and no one asks you why. But here inside these flickering walls, the world still knows your name, Pour me one more round, my friend, it’s all a losing game. (Chorus) One more before the lights go out, one more before the night runs thin, Raise your glass to the fire we chase, to the world we’ll never win. Pour it strong, pour it fast, make it burn, make it count, One more before the lights go out. (Verse 2) The airlock’s cracked, the towers lean, shadows stretch and groan, But the bar still stands, a beacon bright, a refuge made of stone. No credits here, just broken dreams and promises we trade, Pour the amber, pour the silver, let the colors fade. (Chorus) One more before the lights go out, one more before the night runs thin, Raise your glass to the fire we chase, to the world we’ll never win. Pour it strong, pour it fast, make it burn, make it count, One more before the lights go out. (Bridge) The jukebox sings a static hymn, we stomp along the floor, The bartender nods, “This one’s on me,” and we roar for more! Neon paints our faces bright, the outside world’s a blur, Here’s to what’s left, to what’s right, to the end we all prefer! (Chorus x2) One more before the lights go out, one more before the night runs thin, Raise your glass to the fire we chase, to the world we’ll never win. Pour it strong, pour it fast, make it burn, make it count, One more before the lights go out. (Outro) The shutters creak, the glow fades out, the street’s a quiet storm, We’ll find another refuge soon, where the whiskey’s always warm. Pour it strong, pour it fast, don’t forget, don’t doubt, One more before the lights go out.
