Cinder Avenue (Version 3)

Verse

Boards go soft beneath the heel

Swing skips back, the floor can feel

Weight goes down then lifts back light

Whole room breathing left to right

Sprung wood ticking under toes

Every step a beat that grows

Floor gives back what we put in

Cinder Avenue, let it spin

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the give beneath your feet

Floor keeps time with the swinging beat

Push it down and it sends it back

Bounce for bounce on the offbeat track

Chorus

Cinder Avenue, feel the floor talk back

Cinder Avenue, riding on the track

Cinder Avenue, weight then snap

Cinder Avenue, the room gives back

Verse

Heel to toe on the borrowed spring

Boards remember everything

Crowd leans in, the joists all bend

Energy loops, it don't end

Step gets soft where the beat gets thin

Floor breathes out, we breathe back in

Every footfall feeds the floor

Cinder Avenue wants more

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the give beneath your feet

Floor keeps time with the swinging beat

Push it down and it sends it back

Bounce for bounce on the offbeat track

Chorus

Cinder Avenue, feel the floor talk back

Cinder Avenue, riding on the track

Cinder Avenue, weight then snap

Cinder Avenue, the room gives back

Bridge

Down through the boards, up through the bone

Floor and feet, same heartbeat, home

Nobody's still, the whole block sways

Cinder Avenue don't stop till day

Chorus

Cinder Avenue, feel the floor talk back

Cinder Avenue, riding on the track

Cinder Avenue, weight then snap

Cinder Avenue, the room gives back
