Buckhead

Lyrics

[Intro — instrumental only, no vocals]
[coins and poker chips riffle and cascade, a card swipes; the beat builds]
[Instrumental build — still no singing, let the groove settle in]
[Instrumental — the coins and the strings carry it alone]

[Verse 1 — vocals enter at last]
Up where the towers wear the city's crown,
the moneyed uptown looking down on downtown;
a buck in the name and a buck in the air,
Buckhead glittering without a care.

[Chorus]
Buckhead, Buckhead, riffle and spend,
the bucks keep coming and they never end;
cha, cha, cha, let the coins cascade,
the glittering uptown never afraid.

[Verse 2]
Lenox and Phipps and the velvet-rope night,
the riffle of cash under chandelier light;
spend it and flaunt it, let the good times ring,
the uptown buzz of a moneyed thing.

[Chorus]
Buckhead, Buckhead, riffle and spend,
the bucks keep coming and they never end;
cha, cha, cha, let the coins cascade,
the glittering uptown never afraid.

[Outro — vocals stop here]
[Instrumental — the cascade of coins rides out alone, no more singing]
[Long instrumental outro — the groove fades slowly all the way down to silence]
