Dust in the Saddle (Version 2)

Verse

Four a.m. and the lights go down

Fender wire on the kick drum sound

Held it close when the crowd pushed back

Dust in my eye like I'm off track

Kick drum cut through like a whip

Chest hit hard enough to rip

Sweat drips cold, the strobe flicker slow

Shadows stretch long where the wall used to go

Pre-Chorus

Lift your hands up off the floor

Feel it rise and feel no more

Chorus

Dust in the saddle, dust in my eyes

We runnin' dark through the Jersey skies

Riding loud through a dying night

Dust in the saddle, we shinin' bright

Verse 2

Bass drum hits and I lose myself

Neon sky turn orange, helplessness

Grip on the rail turns to grip on you

Kick drum hit and I let go too

Fingers white where my knuckles bend

Hypnotic kick don't let me mend

Shadows stretch till they're like a wall

Dust in the air, we all about to fall

Pre-Chorus

Lift your hands up off the floor

Feel it rise and feel no more

Chorus

Dust in the saddle, dust in my eyes

We runnin' dark through the Jersey skies

Riding loud through a dying night

Dust in the saddle, we shinin' bright

Bridge

Shut down the lights, the crowd stay still

Kick drum one last time, then be gone till

Outro

Dust in my eyes, dust on my shirt

We outta here before it's light
