Looking up, starlight Take me there, yeah I wanna fly Want gold, bankroll Wanna feel the rush to the front row Paycheck, late again Barely hanging on to the apartment Doing it my way Ain't nothing free 'bout the free way But I'm miles off the ground I'm leaving this whole mad city to burn And I'll watch it go down Ooh, cause that sun gon' take me with it, hey And I'm building a fire, fire I'm building it higher, higher I'm gonna run this empire, pire And if I go down in flames, the smoke gonna spell my name Lipstick, red wine Long nights, it's a lifestyle So good to the last drop You could see me light up from the rooftops But I'm miles off the ground I'm leaving this whole mad city to burn And I'll watch it go down Ooh, cause that sun gon' take me with it, hey And I'm building a fire, fire I'm building it higher, higher I'm gonna run this empire, pire And if I go down in flames, the smoke gonna spell my name And I'm building a fire, fire I'm building it higher, higher I'm gonna run this empire, pire And if I go down in flames, the smoke gonna spell my name
