Curb humming humming (версия 2)

Intro

Curb humming (humming)

Wires buzzing (buzzing)

Click-clack on the asphalt

Catch the beam

Verse 1

Curb stone cold where the yellow lines crack (crack)

Two-step fast with the speaker on my back (back)

Halogen cuts through the exhaust cloud thick

Metronome clicking in the collarbone quick

Tires squeal sharp on the forty-second lane

Feel that copper on the tongue like rain

High beams blast, fifty feet out

Shadow on the brick wall snapping right down

Elbows locked to the tempo of the grid

City don't sleep and it never really did

Siren in the distance, kick on the one

Sweat on the temple like a race just run

Grit on my knuckles, rubber on the sole

Neon hum running through the metal lamp pole

Car doors slam, then the frequency shift

Body don't buckle when the front shocks lift

Chorus

Static in the headlights, snap to the beat (beat)

Current in the marrow, fire in the street (street)

High beam hitting but I never gonna freeze (freeze)

Static in the headlights, listen to the knees

Verse 2

Grille rolls close, bumper inches away

Radiator hiss in the middle of the gray

Chrome reflection bouncing off of my cheek

This is where the nervous system learns how to speak

Shift to the left, pop, pivot on the heel

Sync my blood pressure to the turning of the wheel

Windshield glare got the corner washed out

I don't need a signal when the rhythm got clout

Subwoofer rattle from the trunk in reverse

Translate the rattle to an eight-count verse

Breathe in the ozone, breathe out spark

Draw my own outline cutting through the dark

Every intersection is a stage unrolled

Steam from the sewer line turning marigold

Green light blinks, but the traffic holds still

Body takes the corner on sheer free will

Chorus

Static in the headlights, snap to the beat (beat)

Current in the marrow, fire in the street (street)

High beam hitting but I never gonna freeze (freeze)

Static in the headlights, listen to the knees

Bridge

Engine revs once, then the bass line drop (drop)

Suspension dipping down, nobody gonna stop (stop)

Tension in the tendons like a loaded steel spring

Hear the telephone wire start to buzz and sing

Four a.m. crossing, nothing in between

Just the glare and the skin and the battery clean

Count the double-flash, one-two, read the beam right

Turn the yellow fog into pure kinetic light

Knees take the impact, ribs catch the spark

Feet don't hesitate, carving up the dark

Adrenaline drumming on the roof of my mouth

Send that frequency rolling to the south

No brake pedal gonna cancel this groove

When the headlight locks, that's a signal to move

Feel the air pressure pop right off of my skin

This is where the current lets the body back in

Outro

Static in the headlights, snap to the beat (beat)

Current in the marrow, fire in the street (street)

Never gonna freeze (freeze)

Listen to the knees

Asphalt shaking

Static in the headlights

Cut the beam
