Coldplay’s Queen B duet is an ode to enjoying a significant other you love and cherish. In an interview, Martin described the origins of the collaboration and its sound:
I thought I’d like to have a song called “Drinks on Me” where you sit on the side of a club and buy everyone drinks because you’r...
[Intro: Beyoncé]
And said drink from me, drink from me
(I, oh, I, oh, I)
That we shoot across the sky
Got me feeling drunk and high
Poured on a symphony
So high, so high
That we shoot across the sky
Poured on a symphony
Drink from me, drink from me
(I, oh, I, oh, I)
That we shoot across the sky
Got me feelin' drunk and high
Poured on a symphony
So high, so high
That we shoot across the sky
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
Oh, angel sent from up above
You know you make my world light up
When I was down, when I was hurt
You came to lift me up
Life is a drink and love's a drug
Oh, now I think I must be miles up
When I was a river dried up
You came to rain a flood
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Beyoncé]
I said, drink from me, drink from me
When I was so thirsty
Poured on a symphony
Now I just can't get enough
Put your wings on me, wings on me
When I was so heavy
Poured on a symphony
When I'm low, low, low, low
[Chorus: Chris Martin & Beyoncé]
I, oh, I, oh, I
Got me feeling drunk and high, so high, so high
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I
Now I'm feeling drunk and high, so high, so high (Woo)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Beyoncé, Beyoncé]
Oh, angel sent from up above
I feel you coursing through my blood
Life is a drink and your love's about
To make the stars (Stars) come out
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin, Chris Martin & Beyoncé]
Put your wings on me, wings on me
When I was so heavy
Poured on a symphony
When I'm low, low, low, low
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
I, oh, I, oh, I
Got me feeling drunk and high, so high, so high
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I
Now I'm feeling drunk and high, so high, so high
[Bridge: Beyoncé, Beyoncé & Chris Martin]
I, oh, I, oh, I
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, so high, so high
I, oh, I, oh, I
Now I'm feeling drunk and high, so high, so high
[Outro: Beyoncé & Chris Martin, Beyoncé]
That me shoot across the sky
That me shoot across the
Let me shoot across the sky
That me shoot across the (Let me shoot)
Let me shoot across the sky
That me shoot across the
Let me shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the
