Half Past the Bassline (versione 2)

Verse

Clock behind the bar stopped counting

Red light drips down off the rig

Floor holds the heat from all the footwork

Bassline splits the room in half

Somebody's shoe left by the speaker

Steam on the ceiling, slow and thick

My palm flat on the cold black railing

Waiting on the drop that doesn't come

Pre-Chorus

We measure time in kicks not minutes

We let the low end set the hour

We stay right here inside the middle

We let it hold, we let it pour

Chorus

Half past the bassline, still not through

Half past the bassline, still not through

Half past the bassline, still not through

Half past the bassline, still not through

Verse

Someone's jacket hangs on the barstool

Ice melts flat in a paper cup

Lights sweep low across the crowd's shoulders

Same four bars, they don't let up

The hi-hat ticks like a second hand

Nobody's watching the door tonight

We move like the room's one long hallway

Half past nothing, half past right

Pre-Chorus

We measure time in kicks not minutes

We let the low end set the hour

We stay right here inside the middle

We let it hold, we let it pour

Chorus

Half past the bassline, still not through

Half past the bassline, still not through

Half past the bassline, still not through

Half past the bassline, still not through

Bridge

No clock hand moves the same as this

The kick keeps splitting every breath

Floor's warm beneath the weight we shift

We stay suspended, nothing's left

to reach for, nothing left to chase

just the low end holding up the space

Chorus

Half past the bassline, still not through

Half past the bassline, still not through

Half past the bassline, still not through

Half past the bassline, still not through
