Organ Stab Curfew (versie 2)

Verse

Organ stab lands on the upbeat crack

Shoulders jerk forward then snap right back

Snare skips sideways, hi-hat's swung tight

Cup sweats warm in my hand all night

Radiator ticking behind the stack

Exit sign glowing red and black

Elbow to elbow, we ride the skank

Stab hits the gut like a second heartbeat bank

Pre-Chorus

Who set the clock when the organ's this loud

Who called last orders on this crowd

Stab keeps stabbing, we lose the count

Time's just a number the bassline discounts

Chorus

Organ stab curfew, clock's gone dead

Stab in the ribs where the bassline led

Organ stab curfew, we don't leave

Skip on the two, skip on the three

Verse

Security's radio crackles through the dark

Sub comes up through the floorboard bark

Jacket's hung on the rail, gone stiff and cold

Night bus idling, engine running old

Breath fogs up where the fire door cracks

Stab lands again, pulls us right back

Chain-link rattle where the smokers stand

Organ's the only clock in my hand

Pre-Chorus

Who's counting minutes when the stab's this deep

Who's calling curfew when the floor won't sleep

Stab keeps stabbing, we lose the round

Time's just static under this sound

Chorus

Organ stab curfew, clock's gone dead

Stab in the ribs where the bassline led

Organ stab curfew, we don't leave

Skip on the two, skip on the three

Bridge

Lights come up, but the stab don't quit

Ringing in my ears holds onto it

Walk out cold, still skip the beat

Organ's stuck under my feet

Chorus

Organ stab curfew, clock's gone dead

Stab in the ribs where the bassline led

Organ stab curfew, we don't leave

Skip on the two, skip on the three
