Top Shelf

Story Behind The Song

After a long week sometimes you feel like Friday may never come. But when it finally does you embrace it along with all the possibilites that comes along with. Under the influence of night and all its temptations, the mixture of tequila, an infectious rhythm, and pair of long legs in high heels on a dance floor come offer the possibility of a night you may never forget and never want to end.

Lyrics

We kiss and she whispers,
"Boy, you got what you came for.
Now what are you waiting for?"

She dims the bright lights invasive glow.
And orchestrates the darkness like a symphony of the shadows.

I smell like smoke and mirrors mixed with last call.
Tastes like she's been going top shelf all night long.

It's Friday night so we don't need an excuse.
Why be sorry about tomorrow when tonight you brought me home with...You look so good
And move just right.
You don't wanna be alone tonight.
Legs so long in heels so high.
You must've known exactly what was on my mind.

We dim down the lights to dull down the pain
And stop keeping track of the time we don't have left until the day breaks.

You look so good and move just right.
You don't wanna be alone tonight.
Legs so long in heels so high.
You must've known exactly what was on my mind

We dim down the lights to dull down the pain
And stop keeping track of the time we don't have left until the day breaks...

And we'll just feel alone and empty in all the same spaces
Desperately searching for somethings to fill in the spaces.

I smell like smoke and mirrors mixed with last call.
Desperately going top shelf all night.
Top shelf all night long.
