Lyrics

作词 : Monk
Mr. Hudson - Straight No Chaser
Straight no chaser
We don't waste our time on fakeness
One glass, one shot is all it takes us
Better this than fade away
So, our story goes this empty city
Crowded skies are clearing but I'm lonesome
No! Bring on the night
There's work a plenty
Fluorescent lamps are passing in slow motion
Only I will wander
Only I can leave
Straight no chaser
We don't waste our time on fakeness
One glass, one shot is all it takes us
Better this than fade away
So we set the scene: a sea of faces
Laser eyes are watching as we close in
Don't play innocent
I know your thinking
You're chasing conversation out of focus
Only I will wander
Only I can leave
Straight no chaser
We don't waste our time on fakeness
One glass, one shot is all it takes us
Better this than fade away
Straight no chaser
We don't waste our time on fakeness
One glass, one shot is all it takes us
Better this than fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
