Intro
Low buzz crawling through the floor
(Floor)
Rattle the latch on the cellar door
(Door)
Yeah
Verse
Soot on the collar, oil on the sleeve (sleeve)
Three in the morning with nowhere to leave (leave)
Subwoofer kicking out the rusted latch
Strike the raw sulphur off a wooden match (match)
Tunnels echo like an empty chest
I don't need quiet and I don't want rest
Jaw clenching hard on a silver wire
Pumping low octane into black tire fire
Cables buzzing on the ceiling rack
Yellow caution tape hanging peeling back (back)
Watch the headlight flicker on the wet cement
Every fender dent is a message sent (sent)
They scrub the sidewalk to erase the stain
I drag the exhaust pipe to carve the lane
Sparks on the underpass, shower of tin
Take the whole hit on the corner of the chin (chin)
Chorus
Feel the tremor in the iron, let the ribcage shake (shake)
Forty hertz inside the pavement till the axles break (break)
Ugly rhythm in the blood, watch the hairline split
Never wash the soot off, never cure the grit (grit)
Tremor in the jawline, tremor in the floor (floor)
Rattle every bolt until they lock no more (no more)
Verse
Rivet pops loose when the bassline drops
Bypass the sensors on the loading docks (docks)
Grease on the palm, got a heavy stride
Nothing clean left on the shadow side
Cold metal whistle in a cut exhaust
Count up the hours and the sleep I lost (lost)
Tape on the taillight, red across the frost
Never check the damage or the bridge we crossed
Two-stroke engine spitting bitter mist
Wrist with a scar where the ratchet missed (missed)
They want perfume and a padded floor
I want the feedback barking through the door (door)
Curbside shuddering, the sewers hum
Fingers twitching steady on a hollow drum
No soft landing when the night goes black
I run the wrong way on the one-way track (track)
Chorus
Feel the tremor in the iron, let the ribcage shake (shake)
Forty hertz inside the pavement till the axles break (break)
Ugly rhythm in the blood, watch the hairline split
Never wash the soot off, never cure the grit (grit)
Tremor in the jawline, tremor in the floor (floor)
Rattle every bolt until they lock no more (no more)
Bridge
Static on the tongue, let the frequency bite (bite)
Nobody is fixing up the city tonight (tonight)
Let the needle pin red, let the dashboard jump
Feel the concrete thump, feel the iron slump
We don't go quiet, we don't go smooth
We got a jagged little rhythm in the groove (groove)
Earthquake, air-brake, copper wire, spark
Keep the whole machine running in the dark (dark)
Outro
Tremor in the frame (frame)
Rattle in the wire (wire)
Pavement on fire (fire)
Tremor in the frame (frame)
Shake the bolt loose
Cut the juice
