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
