Over the Current (Version 2)

Verse 1

Fire exit kicks, cold on the nape

Steam off the collar, nowhere to escape

Ringing in the eardrum, ache in the chest

Pale amber burning the towers out west

Pre-Chorus

Tarmac glowing, eyes cut wide

Nothing in the belly but the kick inside

Sky cracking open, slicing the dark

One more jolt from the copper spark

Chorus

Over the current, ride through the shock

Gold on the pavement, four on the lock

Over the current, step in the glare

Bass in the marrow, smoke in the air

Verse 2

First morning diesel cutting the haze

Glass on the kerb catching the blaze

Jaw keeping tempo, feet on the stone

Whole city moving, I feel it alone

Pre-Chorus

Tarmac glowing, eyes cut wide

Nothing in the belly but the kick inside

Sky cracking open, slicing the dark

One more jolt from the copper spark

Chorus

Over the current, ride through the shock

Gold on the pavement, four on the lock

Over the current, step in the glare

Bass in the marrow, smoke in the air

Bridge

No sleep in the blood, no sleep in the bone

Rumble of the iron, rumble of the stone

Sunlight drops like a razor slice

Melting the static, paying the price

Chorus

Over the current, ride through the shock

Gold on the pavement, four on the lock

Over the current, step in the glare

Bass in the marrow, smoke in the air
