Money Like Smoke（バージョン2）

Verse

Savings account breathing, slow and thin

Rent's due at midnight but the numbers spin

I put it back in like I'm chasing my own tail

City eats you whole for a flavor that never fails

Bank app glowing through the screen on my knee

Interest rate whispering sweet lies to me

Every bill folded into an envelope of doubt

I'm folding them up again, walking out

Pre-Chorus

Tell the cash what I'm worth before it's gone

Watch it melt like smoke and leave a name that's never known

Chorus

Money like smoke, it disappears in the air

Never saw my face on the bill I held there

Burnt it to ash just to watch it float away

Nothing left to spend but I'm still dancing today

Verse

Momma kept ours folded under the mattress floor

Said a dollar's not yours till you're walking out the door

Now I'm folding hers like she taught me how to fold

Same math, different story, same gold on the road

Corner store clerks counting what the morning brings

I give them back in change just to hear their ring

Every receipt's proof that nobody owns this skin

I keep it burning slow so I'll never forget again

Pre-Chorus

Tell the cash what I'm worth before it's gone

Watch it melt like smoke and leave a name that's never known

Chorus

Money like smoke, it disappears in the air

Never saw my face on the bill I held there

Burnt it to ash just to watch it float away

Nothing left to spend but I'm still dancing today

Bridge

Maybe freedom's not the thing you keep inside

Maybe freedom's the fire that won't let itself hide

Every dollar that breathes and then goes up in flames

I'm lighting this whole town, one debt at a time

Chorus

Money like smoke, it disappears in the air

Never saw my face on the bill I held there

Burnt it to ash just to watch it float away

Nothing left to spend but I'm still dancing today
