Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Put your money on me)
(‘Cause I can barely breathe)
(Put your money on me)
[Verse 2]
Put your money on me
If you think I’m losing you, you must be crazy
All your money on me
I'm never gonna let you go, even when it’s easy
Put your money on me or tuck me into bed
And wake me when I’m dead, I know that you gotta be free
But I’m never gonna let it go
[Verse 3]
If there was a race, a race for your heart?
It started before you were born
Above the chloroform sky, clouds made of Ambient
Sitting on carpets in the basement of heaven
[Verse 4]
We were born innocent but it lasts a day
And, baby, you can give all the money away
But if there’s a race, a race for your heart?
It’s over before it starts
[Verse 5]
Singing, put your money on me
If you think I’m losing you, you must be crazy
All your money on me
I'm never gonna let you go, even when it’s easy
Put your money on me but tuck me into bed
And wake me when I’m dead, I know that you gotta be free
But I’m never gonna let it go
[Verse 6]
All my presents are broken before they’re open
And the promises, the second they’re spoken
I know I’ve been different, my skin keeps shedding
My mother was crying on the day of our wedding
[Verse 7]
Trumpets of angels call for my head
But I fight through the ether and I’ll quit when I’m dead
If you wanna know who’ll be there in the end
When you bury me, baby, I’ll still be your friend
[Verse 8]
Singing, put your money on me
If you think I’m losing you, you must be crazy
All your money on me
I'm never gonna let you go, even when it’s easy
Put your money on me but tuck me into bed
And wake me when I’m dead, I know that you gotta be free
But I’m never gonna let it go
[Verse 9]
Singing, put your money on, all your money on me
I know it’s not the last time
Put your money on, all your money on me
I know it’s not easy
[Verse 10]
(To put your money on me)
(Cause I can barely breathe)
(When you put your money on me)
When Silicon Valley’s melted back into silicon
We’ll find a way to survive
[Verse 11]
Singing, put your money on me
If you think I’m losing you, you must be crazy
All your money on me
I'm never gonna let you go, even when it’s easy
Put your money on me or tuck me into bed
And wake me when I’m dead, I know that you gotta be free
But I’m never gonna let it go
[Verse 12]
Singing, put your money on, all your money on me
You know it’s not the last time
Put your money on, all your money on me
I know it's not easy
Put your money on, all your money on me
You know it’s not the last time
Put your money on, all your money on me
You know it’s not easy
[Verse 13]
(To put your money on me)
(All your money on me)
