Verse 1
Creps hit the gravel, cold on the sole
Five a.m. drift and the bells don't toll
Bass in the sternum, ringing inside
Strobe still flashing where the corners hide
Steam off the drain, collar pulled high
Bleach on the edge of the east-end sky
Pre-Chorus
Sky turn copper, sky turn lead
Shaking the rattle right out of my head
Hear that engine tick in the lane
Morning coming up to claim the pain
Chorus
Cobblestone blitz, dawn on the stones
Gold in the gutter, cold in the bones
Cobblestone blitz, tap-step, glide
Sun creeping in where the shadows hide
Verse 2
Bins on the kerb and the glass crushed thin
Yellow lamp buzz where the day leaks in
Eyes cut sharp, silhouette long
Footstep echo to a ghost-town song
Key in the fist, copper in the mouth
Breeze off the water cutting straight south
Pre-Chorus
Sky turn copper, sky turn lead
Shaking the rattle right out of my head
Hear that engine tick in the lane
Morning coming up to claim the pain
Chorus
Cobblestone blitz, dawn on the stones
Gold in the gutter, cold in the bones
Cobblestone blitz, tap-step, glide
Sun creeping in where the shadows hide
Bridge
Floor died hard when the shutters fell
Now it is the quiet and the petrol smell
Light hits the brick with a sudden slash
Dusting off the pavement like a burnt-out ash
Chorus
Cobblestone blitz, dawn on the stones
Gold in the gutter, cold in the bones
Cobblestone blitz, tap-step, glide
Sun creeping in where the shadows hide
