Bop till the block lights flicker flicker (Version 5)

Intro

Bass hit the concrete, curb feel the heat

Rubber on the pavement, don't miss a beat

Watch the wire shake, watch the wire glow

Here we go, yeah, here we go

Verse 1

Three-fifteen and the curb still humming (humming)

Sub in the trunk got the asphalt jumping (jumping)

Steam out the grate and the laces untied

Left hip, right hip, locked to the ride

Sweat on the collarbone, silver on the cheek

Tire iron rhythm when the shock springs squeak

Count four counts, let the shoulder pop back

Rubber sole scuffing on the yellow lane track

Tension in the calf, let the tendon snap tight

Amber beam slicing through the middle of the night

Earring swinging like a pendulum swing

Knuckles on the fender make the whole frame ring

No soft shoe when we stepping in the zone

Every single vertebrae a microphone (phone)

Grid humming low, generator on heat

We don't need a roof when we own that street (street)

Chorus

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)

Two-step heavy on the cracked concrete

Whole town shaking to the eight-oh-eight beat

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)

Verse 2

Four-oh-two and the halogen buzzes (buzzes)

Rattling the brickwork, that's what it does is (does is)

Sip cold water from a crushed tin can

Heel drop hard like an eight-piece band

Shadow on the plaster board six feet tall

Shoulder roll, snap, take the hit, don't fall

Neon green mirror on the puddle by the drain

Pulse in the wrist like a midnight train

Double-time tap when the snare drum crack

Spine stays loose but we never pull back

Hydrant dripping on a five-inch heel

Turn a city corner to a spinning steel wheel

Thigh catch the bounce, send it right back down

Teeth feel the tremor from the underground sound

Wires overhead got a hum so mean

Dancing in the flash of a broken machine (machine)

Chorus

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)

Two-step heavy on the cracked concrete

Whole town shaking to the eight-oh-eight beat

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)

Bridge

Hold that pocket. Freeze that line.

Catch that shudder running up my spine.

One bulb buzzes. Two bulbs blink.

Current runs faster than a brain can think.

Ground gives up, sky turns gray.

Tell me what the rhythm gonna do today.

Wait for the surge, let the power line spark

Cut straight through the cold, cold dark

Chorus

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)

Two-step heavy on the cracked concrete

Whole town shaking to the eight-oh-eight beat

Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)

Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)

Outro

Bop till the flicker (bop)

Drop till it's thicker (drop)

Curbside shaking

Grid line breaking

Amber to blue

We ain't through

Cut.
