[Intro: KSRA]
Me
I'll know this like me
It's night and I've been feeling you
I see your face and I can hardly still
The beating of my heart
I think we've fallen apart
[Verse 1: ProbCause]
A couple whiskeys at the speak easy
Donnie make that trumpet breathe
Midnight when I leave the lab
My lady would like a martini please
Rosie Lipstick on the glass
Zip her dress up in the back
Uptown on a rainy friday
Light a square, blow out the match
The city light's bright
Hale a cab up on the corner
Full moon in effect tonight
I feel like somethin's in the air
I swear the city ghosts are real
Hop out the cab and hit the club that plays the music I'm tryin' to hear, like
Yeah, the mood is dim, dank and wavy
Baby Face Grimm may hit the mic if you get him faded
Yo conductor, play my song, I sing and watch my lady dance
Pearls glowin' bright inside this night, fly free, ain't got no plans
[Chorus: ProbCause]
Pale moonlight in a red dress
Got my eyes wide, I'm your head rest
Sit with made men, talkin' business
'Til the sun come, 'cause we in this
She a witness to the life style that I never knew I'd be a part of
Roll with the winners in the summer and the winter and she been down from the startup
[Bridge: KSRA]
Jewels brilliantine
Stardom and majesty
Like a king to riches
Pursue the brilliant skin that's me
'Cause I can't scream out loud
I'm a treasure quiet like Chicago crowds
[Verse 2: ProbCause]
I know about this hidden gem that we could hit
They never close, it's dimly lit
The drinks are strong, the music chill
Vibe is right it's off the strip, 'cause
'Cause I'm just tryin' to ride your wave, keep soarin'
So baby could you sing your song to me until the mornin'
Don't let the song and follow my rhythm
All good intentions, love your vibe
Cry like an angel, don't have an angle
Got my attention, you one of a kind
Her delicate, elegant, soulful, intelligent melody stuck in my head
Your music'll never stop playin' inside of me, not even after I'm dead
[Chorus: ProbCause]
Pale moonlight in a red dress
Got my eyes wide, I'm your head rest
Sit with made men, talkin' business
'Til the sun come, cause we in this
[Outro: KSRA]
I'll know this like me
I'll know this like me
