Billions Lyrics

Psycho, priceless
Good in a crisis
Working the angles, oh, oh
Billions

Sexting, sonnets
Under the tables
Tangled in cables, oh, oh
Billions

Salting, flavour
Lies like a sailor
But he loves like a painter, oh, oh
Billions

Hand it over, broker
Give me the closure
Here's a pearl, I'm the oyster, oh, oh
Billions

Say, say, say, say something to me
Say, say, say, say something to me

Headless, angel
Body upgraded
But it's dead on arrival, oh, oh
(Billions)

Twisted, manic
Cornucopeiac
Yeah my cup overfloweth, oh, oh
(Billions)

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 to you)

Psycho, priceless
Good in a crisis
Working the angles, oh, oh
Billions

Hand it over, broker
Give me the closure
He's a pearl, I'm the oyster, oh, oh
Billions

(Oh, oh) Say, say, say, say something to me
(Oh, oh) Say, say, say, say something to me

Oh, I've 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 to you
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 to you
I never felt so close to you
I never felt so close to you
