Cold sky, iron stars stars

Verse 1

Tar hums under boot leather

Pulse lock with the cold weather

Red diode on the mast blinks slow

Tires grip the gravel down below

Chest rattles when the kick drum falls

Bass wave bouncing off the warehouse walls

Silver mist clinging to the black wool sleeve

Lungs full of smoke, no desire to leave

Pre-Chorus

High voltage buzz in the teeth (teeth)

Pavement unlock underneath (neath)

Look up where the cranes cut tall

Step off the ledge and fall

Chorus

Cold sky, iron stars (stars)

Sub hits, crack the tar (tar)

Smoke thick, drift far (far)

Cold sky, iron stars

Verse 2

Sodium beam turns the oil slick gold

Body stays hot while the wind turns cold

Spine snaps tight to the tempo's grip

Shadows slide past on a blindfold trip

Antenna towers piercing through the grey

Steel constellation leads the mind away

Clock hands vanish in the four-four sweep

Too much current in the blood to sleep

Pre-Chorus

High voltage buzz in the teeth (teeth)

Pavement unlock underneath (neath)

Look up where the cranes cut tall

Step off the ledge and fall

Chorus

Cold sky, iron stars (stars)

Sub hits, crack the tar (tar)

Smoke thick, drift far (far)

Cold sky, iron stars

Bridge

No north, no south, no ground

Pure weight inside the sound

The city lights burn down to wire

We feed the engine to the fire

Chorus

Cold sky, iron stars (stars)

Sub hits, crack the tar (tar)

Smoke thick, drift far (far)

Cold sky, iron stars
