Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Imo loves the feeling of rolling in the sun
Rolling in the oceans, she rolls until she's numb
But it's never too long before a swell comes crashing in
And you're gonna go down if you don't learn how to swim
Every moth to a candle finds a flame too hot to handle
And Jamie broke down at Imo's every scandal
Imo went West and Jamie sang the blues
It was Niki's raw heart that lit her fuse
[Chorus]
And she went, "Oh ****, oh ****
Let's make some money, just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile, oh
You got the dollars in your eyes
Our love is so sick, so sick
Just takes a minute to obliterate a mind
I want you when you smile, oh
From today until you die"
[Verse 2]
They love rocky crystal in a lottery ticket
Unfortunate events, she's his Jiminy Cricket
Carving out initially, they did it on a wall
N and I, in the world of a heart-shaped scrawl
[Verse 3]
Guides a finger across his hairline as his head rests on the bar
He's stone-cold cut and she's hotter than a star
But Niki loves the fire and Niki loves the fight
And Niki's got a heart that will love you through the night
[Chorus]
And they go, "Oh ****, oh ****
Let's make some money, just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile, oh
I want the dollars in your eyes"
And they go, "Oh ****, oh ****
Let's make some money, just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile, oh
I want the dollars in your eyes"
[Bridge]
Tank top, boots, no money
Living on the stubs
What's it even matter?
You're just young and in love
[Chorus]
Oh ****, oh ****
[Chorus]
And we go, "Oh ****, oh ****
We need some money, just enough to get us by
And everybody goes, whoa
We got the dollars in our eyes"
And we go, "Oh ****, oh ****
We need some money, just enough to get us by
I want you when you smile, oh
I want the dollars in your eyes"
Oh ****, oh ****
