White noise hummin' on the dashboard clock (έκδοση 2)

Intro

(Sombra)

(Bora)

White noise hummin' on the dashboard clock

Two-lane blacktop, never gonna stop

(Hey)

Verse 1

Wet tar steam risin' up from the trench

Diesel on the collar with an iron-pipe stench

Tape on the bumper holdin' metal to the frame

Spit on the curb 'cause I never want a name

Halogen high-beams buzzin' in the mist

Clock on the console spinnin' off the wrist

Cracked side mirror showin' teeth made of tin

Roll the window down just to let the venom in

Sirens in the distance but they turn the other way

Gutter-water splashin' on a coat of primer-grey

I don't need a lane when the stripe is washed out

Chewin' on the gravel, spittin' panic in a drought

Circuit breaker clickin' in the pocket of my coat

Static on the tongue, copper buzzin' in the throat

They want a smooth ride, polish on the rust

I leave a black smear skiddin' in the dust

Chorus

Static in the headlights, glare in my face (in my face)

Burnin' out the wire in a midnight race (in the race)

Ugly on the blacktop, teeth full of grit (full of grit)

I don't look away and I never call it quit (never quit)

Static in the headlights, glare in my face (in my face)

Burnin' out the wire in a midnight race (in the race)

Verse 2

Four-gauge cable strapped tight to the hood

Nothin' in the rhythm ever act like it should

Pavement got teeth, yeah, it bites at the tread

Rattlin' the rivets with a hummin' in my head

Passin' dead factories, rusted-out gates

Scrap-iron silhouette carryin' the weights

Keep your clean cut, keep your glass towers tall

I take the blind turn scrape against the wall

Spark on the chassis like a flare in the ditch

Live wire twitchin' on a five-dollar switch

Oil slick rainbow floatin' in the drain

Nocturnal engine pumpin' poison in the vein

No seatbelt click, hear the metal rod rattle

Shadow on the concrete ready for the battle

Let the bright beams freeze every animal that runs

I stare straight through 'em like the barrel of their guns

Chorus

Static in the headlights, glare in my face (in my face)

Burnin' out the wire in a midnight race (in the race)

Ugly on the blacktop, teeth full of grit (full of grit)

I don't look away and I never call it quit (never quit)

Static in the headlights, glare in my face (in my face)

Burnin' out the wire in a midnight race (in the race)

Bridge

High-voltage tower screamin' in the rain

Cut through the shoulder, take the shoulder of the lane

Nobody clean gonna make it out alive

Only the crooked and the broken gonna drive

Flash-blind white, but I see it crystal clear

Nothin' in the rearview, nothin' that I fear

(Bora)

(Burn)

Outro

Static in the headlights

(Static)

Static on the chrome

(Never home)

Burnt rubber smoke, let the white glare freeze

Asphalt crawlin' on its hands and knees

(Sombra)
