[Intro: piano stabs and the kick, then the keyboard riff] [Verse 1] Two in the morning, and the lights come up Floor's all sticky, and the music's done Out on the curb with a thousand people Every phone held up like a little steeple Bouncer said, you don't have to go home But you can't stay here, so we stood there alone Tap for a ride, and the number's in red Ninety-four dollars just to get to my bed You looked at the screen, then you looked at my feet Said, I'll carry your shoes for the first twenty streets [Chorus] Surge pricing, surge pricing Everything's triple after two Something's surging, and it's not the fare So I'm walking the whole way home with you [Verse 2] Ten blocks down, and you're holding my shoes Stopped at a taco truck, and I paid for two You told me 'bout your boss and the job that you hate I told you 'bout my sister and my landlord named Nate Twenty blocks down, and the app pings again Price dropped to normal, but I never said when You said, should we take it? I said, take it where? We're halfway already, and I'm halfway there Thirty blocks down, and we're singing out loud Old man on a stoop says, keep it down, then he bowed [Chorus] Surge pricing, surge pricing Everything's triple after two Something's surging, and it's not the fare So I'm walking the whole way home with you [Bridge] The price goes up when the bars let out Everybody's paying what the night's about But nobody charges for a hand in a hand Or forty city blocks that we didn't plan [Verse 3] Last two blocks, and the garbage trucks roll Four in the morning, and the air turns cold You walked me to the step of my building door Phone says the ride's still ninety-four You laughed at the screen, and you put it away Said, I'd pay ten times that for the walk today You never asked to come up, and I liked that a lot So I'm asking you myself, and I'm asking on the spot [Final Chorus: the whole song flips from minor to major as she reaches her door] Surge pricing, surge pricing Everything's triple after two Something's surging, and it's not the fare I'd walk a hundred blocks with you Keep the ninety-four, keep the car, keep the change Come on up, there's coffee, and it's free all the same [Outro: the keyboard riff, now in major, kick pounding] Surge pricing, surge pricing Everything's triple after two [End]
