[Intro — amp hum, distant crowd] I woke up with a hotel key In a pocket that wasn’t mine [Verse 1] There’s a lipstick mark on my cigarette And somebody’s shoes by the bathroom door I don’t remember who brought me here I don’t remember what I came here for The TV’s playing with the sound turned down Blue light dancing across the wall My phone says six, but the sun ain’t up Guess I missed another morning call [Pre-Chorus — quiet, tense] I keep seeing myself In every window I pass And every version of me Looks like he wants to laugh [Chorus — explosive] So bury me underneath the mirrorball Let it spin while the whole room falls I wanna hear that dirty guitar Till I can’t remember who we are If I’m gonna disappear tonight Leave the headlights burning white Don’t call my name when the music stops Just let me dance till the ceiling drops [Verse 2 — swaggering] There’s a bartender who knows my sins But he never learned my middle name He pours my drink like a priest at church Then asks me if I’m doing okay I bought a jacket from a dead man’s store It still smells like somebody else’s life I wear it out when I’m feeling brave Then take it off when I get inside [Pre-Chorus — rising] I keep seeing myself In the back of every cab Looking twenty years older Than the person that I am [Chorus — bigger] So bury me underneath the mirrorball Let it spin while the whole room falls I wanna hear that dirty guitar Till I can’t remember who we are If I’m gonna disappear tonight Leave the headlights burning white Don’t call my name when the music stops Just let me dance till the ceiling drops [Bridge — stripped guitar, almost whispered] Maybe I’m not running from the dark Maybe I’m scared of who I am in it Maybe every room I leave behind Keeps a little piece of me in it [Beat returns — vocal building] And if tomorrow finds me With the same old face I’ll put another song on And pretend I’m okay [Final Chorus — huge, raw] BURY ME UNDERNEATH THE MIRRORBALL! Let it spin while the whole room falls! I wanna hear that dirty guitar Till I can’t remember who we are! If I’m gonna disappear tonight Leave the headlights burning white Don’t call my name when the music stops— [Break — instruments cut] Just let me dance… [Final hit] ’TIL THE CEILING DROPS! [Outro — distorted guitar fading] Six in the morning… Still nobody knows where I went.
