Gold on the Ceiling (Version 2)

Intro

Gold on the ceiling, low and slow

Verse 1 – female vocal

Last train home was an hour ago

Streetlights fading where we go

Neon window, amber glow

Still got the beat in my bones

Pre-Chorus – layered gospel harmonies, punchier kick

Feel it rising through the floor

Every step gets a little more

Can't let go of this one last spin

Chorus – full belt and layered harmonies, plucky synths swell

Gold on the ceiling, gold on our skin

We keep dancing till the night lets us in

Gold on the ceiling, low and slow

Sunrise coming but we don't wanna know

Verse 2 – more breathy, half-spoken ad-libs

Rooftop view through a veil of smoke

Shadows turning gold with every stroke

Somebody's jacket, nobody's name

Just us and the bass and the same old refrain

Pre-Chorus – gospel harmonies swell, kick drops

Feel it rising through the floor

Every step gets a little more

Can't let go of this one last spin

Chorus – full belt, layered harmonies, plucky synths swell

Gold on the ceiling, gold on our skin

We keep dancing till the night lets us in

Gold on the ceiling, low and slow

Sunrise coming but we don't wanna know

Bridge – sparse, just piano, vocal ad-libs

Hold still for one second here

Feel it turn from black to clear

Skin catching light before it's gone

This is where the day comes home

Chorus – full belt, layered harmonies, plucky synths swell

Gold on the ceiling, gold on our skin

We keep dancing till the night lets us in

Gold on the ceiling, low and slow

Sunrise coming but we don't wanna know
