Verse 1:
Cigarette smoke tangos with midnight air
Fingers trace piano keys like whispered prayer
Neon bruises pool 'neath broken concrete
Where his fedora tilts to shadows incomplete

Chorus:
Under the dim streetlight's glow
His voice melts asphalt into gold
Whiskey tremolo in B-flat minor
Echoes bounce off the all-night diner
Every scar hums through saxophone sighs
The city exhales in blue velvet lies

Bridge:
(Trumpet solo spirals like stairway to nowhere
Moonlight drips through fire escapes)
Rain starts scribbling its own refrain
On windowpanes of the 3AM train

Verse 2:
Cobblestones soak up the broken chords
As taxi headlights waltz through his last encore
The A-train's moan becomes his walking bass
Dawn licks the wounds of his unfinished phrase

(Outro chorus fades with muted trumpet
As his shadow dissolves in Gershwin's sunrise) 顶一下
