Concrete Undertow (versión 2)

Verse

Grate mouth opens after the rain

Gutter teeth pull the street inside

Manhole lid taps a hollow code

Culvert throat drinks the overflow

Pre-Chorus

Where does the water go when the block goes under

Where does the current pull when the block goes still

Chorus

Concrete undertow, pulling at the sole

Concrete undertow, dragging through the pole

Concrete undertow, city loses hold

Concrete undertow, takes the whole block low

Verse

Storm drain hums a diesel note

Runoff climbs the curb by inch

Sewer main breathes a colder air

Asphalt buckles, doesn't flinch

Pre-Chorus

Where does the water go when the block goes under

Where does the current pull when the block goes still

Chorus

Concrete undertow, pulling at the sole

Concrete undertow, dragging through the pole

Concrete undertow, city loses hold

Concrete undertow, takes the whole block low

Bridge

Down

Under the seam

Down

Under the beam

Channel remembers

Every street it's seen

Chorus

Concrete undertow, pulling at the sole

Concrete undertow, dragging through the pole

Concrete undertow, city loses hold

Concrete undertow, takes the whole block low
