Billions Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Psycho, priceless
Good in a crisis
Working the angles
Oh, billions
Sexting sonnets
Under the tables
Tangled in cables
Oh, billions
Salty (Ah), flavor (Ah)
Lies like a sailor
But he loves like a painter
Oh, billions
[Pre-Chorus]
Hand it over (Ah), broker (Ah)
Give me the closure
He's a pearl, I'm the oyster
Oh, billions
[Chorus]
Ah, ah
Say, say, say, say something to me
Ah, ah
Say, say, say, say something to me
[Verse 2]
Headless angel
Body upgraded
But it's dead on arrival
Oh, billions
Twisted, manic
Cornucopeiac
Yeah, my cup overfloweth
Oh, billions
[Bridge]
I never felt so close to you
I never felt so close
(I never felt so close to you)
(I never felt so close to you)
[Verse 3]
Psycho, priceless
Good in a crisis
Working the angles
Oh, billions
[Pre-Chorus]
Hand it over (Ah), broker (Ah)
Give me the closure
He's the pearl, I'm the oyster
Oh, billions
[Chorus]
Ah, ah
Say, say, say, say something to me
Ah, ah
Say, say, say, say something to me
[Outro: Trinity Croydon Choir]
Oh, I never felt so close to you
I never felt so close to you
I never felt so close to you (I never felt so close)
I never felt so close to you (I never felt so, never felt so close to you, I never felt so close)
I never felt so close to you (I never felt so close, I never felt so close)
I never felt so close to you (I never felt so, never felt so close to you, I never felt so close)
I never felt so close to you (I never felt so close, I never felt so close)
I never felt so close to you (I never felt so, never felt so close to you, I never felt so close)
I never felt so close to you (I never felt so close, I never felt so close)
I never felt so close to you (I never felt so, never felt so close to you, I never felt so close)
I never felt so close

What else has Caroline said about the song?
I hate this word with a deep passion, but it’s tantric. Really sparkly, yet kind of stoned. Pupils dilated — moments of total openness. It’s extremely emotional song that has zero story whatsoever. I wanted the listener to feel lost inside the song.

What has Caroline said about working with the Trinity Children's Choir?
Billion feature the Trinity Children’s Choir who also sing on “Butterfly Net.” I got to go down to conduct and record them in person, which was very emotional. They really understood the music.

What have the artists said about the song?
“Billions” is last for all the same reasons that “Welcome to My Island” is first. It dissolves into total selflessness, whereas the album opens with total selfishness. The Beach Boys‘ “Surf’s Up” is one of my favourite songs of all time. I cannot listen to it without sobbing. But the non-linear, spi...
