Curbside Twitch (version 3)

Verse 1

Sub in the drainpipe, kick in the knee

Tarmac sticky at a quarter to three

Zip up the windproof, frost on the chin

Scuff on the kerb where the drift roll in

Grip on the railing, heavy in the chest

Bass in the marrow, no room to rest

Pre-Chorus

Pulse in the throat go tick-tick-tick

Sky turn ash where the shadows split

Hold that bounce, don't let it dip

Keep both feet on the razor tip

Chorus

Curbside twitch, don't lose the grip

Scuff on the pavement, shift and slip

Curbside twitch, heavy on the kick

Move till the morning cuts real quick

Verse 2

Amber flashing off the shutter gate

Two-step rhythm in a reckless state

Grit on the sole, diesel on the tongue

Shadows stretch tall but the night ain't done

Steam off the neck, eye in a daze

Cutting through the alley in a violet haze

Pre-Chorus

Pulse in the throat go tick-tick-tick

Sky turn ash where the shadows split

Hold that bounce, don't let it dip

Keep both feet on the razor tip

Chorus

Curbside twitch, don't lose the grip

Scuff on the pavement, shift and slip

Curbside twitch, heavy on the kick

Move till the morning cuts real quick

Bridge

First beam striking right across the lane

Blinding out the yellow, washing out the rain

Don't cut the tempo, don't drop the pace

Moving till the daylight smacks the face

Chorus

Curbside twitch, don't lose the grip

Scuff on the pavement, shift and slip

Curbside twitch, heavy on the kick

Move till the morning cuts real quick
