INTRO (vinyle qui crépite + piano + chœurs gospel) Oooh… sha-la-la… Blue lights… broken hearts… Oooh… ⸻ VERSE 1 Another fight at home, doors slammin’ in the heat Jumped inside my blue ride, tires screamin’ through the street Midnight on my shoulders, whiskey burnin’ in my chest Every red light lookin’ like the devil testin’ me again Pulled beside a nervous dude starin’ at my face I stepped out like “Easy man, nobody dyin’ today” But he talked slick real fast, all ego all pride So I snapped right back with that darkness in my eyes Whole city smellin’ like sweat, smoke and gasoline And every damn night I feel closer to the edge of me A few days later guess who runnin’ to police? Now every blue light in the mirror got its eyes on me ⸻ PRE-CHORUS (doo-wop choir) Sha-la-la… Blue lights in the rain… Sha-la-la… Everything changed… ⸻ CHORUS Blue lights… broken hearts… Guess I drift too fast in the dark Everybody lookin’ at me like I’m born to lose Like the city already picked my shoes Blue lights… broken hearts… Now the whole world knows my scars Funny thing about monsters in this town… People build ‘em first then act shocked when they come around (gospel choir) Oooh… broken hearts… ⸻ VERSE 2 Flying through the city in my blue metallic ghost Mind racin’ faster than the engine and the smoke Sirens hit behind me, now the whole street froze Like I robbed a damn bank or sold my soul for gold Hands on the hood now Questions in my face Saliva tests and cold stares Like they wanna strip my name Judge mail hit months later, white paper black ink Courtroom smellin’ like rich lies and cheap drinks Everybody starin’ like I’m public enemy Man I swear I never killed nobody physically ⸻ BRIDGE (piano seul + voix grave) Maybe I talk too loud… Maybe I drive too fast… Maybe I got too much fire burnin’ in my chest… But every time they scream “monster”… A part of me starts believin’ it… ⸻ FINAL CHORUS (plus intense avec gospel) Blue lights… broken hearts… Now I’m drowning in who they are Every fine, every stare, every courtroom lie Built another devil inside my mind Blue lights… broken hearts… Broken dreams in a blue sports car Funny thing about justice in this town… It can turn a broken man into exactly what they talk about ⸻ OUTRO (vinyle + pluie + chœurs lointains) Oooh… sha-la-la… Blue lights… Broken hearts… Yeah… Maybe y’all created this… (sirène lointaine + fin vinyle)
