Spine like a wire and the block open wide (Version 3)

Verse 1

Green light blinking on a cracked sidewalk (walk)

Bass in the drainpipe humming when I talk

Two-step steady, rhythm in my chest

Ribcage rattling, never need a rest

Soles hit the crosswalk, rubber on the dash

Shadow stretch long under halogen flash

Shoulders drop down as the engine takes hold

Rolling through the borough in cruise control (hold)

Pre-Chorus

Feel that motor in the arch of my feet?

Ten toes locked to the pulse of the street

No brake lights when the rhythm get right

Watch me steer clean through the dark of the night

Chorus

Midnight cruise control, set it and glide (glide)

Spine like a wire and the block open wide

Hands off the wheel, let the tempo roll through

Midnight cruise control, doing what it do (do)

Verse 2

Steam off the grating, heat off the tire

Calves snapping fast like a copper live wire

Corner store awning neon pink glow

Hips on a gear shift, steady and low

Cadence on the curb, zero to the floor

One quick sweep as I pass through the door

Asphalt hums like a speaker in the knee

Nothing steers the pavement better than me (me)

Pre-Chorus

Feel that motor in the arch of my feet?

Ten toes locked to the pulse of the street

No brake lights when the rhythm get right

Watch me steer clean through the dark of the night

Chorus

Midnight cruise control, set it and glide (glide)

Spine like a wire and the block open wide

Hands off the wheel, let the tempo roll through

Midnight cruise control, doing what it do (do)

Bridge

Red light flash, but the stride keep time (time)

Curbstone ringing in a four-four line

No clutch, no drift, just an open-lane track

Roll right forward and we never look back

Chorus

Midnight cruise control, set it and glide (glide)

Spine like a wire and the block open wide

Hands off the wheel, let the tempo roll through

Midnight cruise control, doing what it do (do)
