Steel Doesn't Sleep lyrics
Verse
Concrete cold beneath my feet
Last train gone, still holding heat
Chrome and smoke, the door swings wide
Grey light bleeds where the black sky died
Pre-Chorus
Eyes half shut, the bassline stays
Body running on borrowed days
Chorus
Steel doesn't sleep, it just turns cold
Steel doesn't sleep, it grinds and holds
Sun comes up on the same machine
Steel doesn't sleep, steel doesn't dream
Verse
Sodium orange fades to blue
Empty cups where the crowd once grew
My shadow's long on the parking line
Heartbeat slow but still on time
Pre-Chorus
Eyes half shut, the bassline stays
Body running on borrowed days
Chorus
Steel doesn't sleep, it just turns cold
Steel doesn't sleep, it grinds and holds
Sun comes up on the same machine
Steel doesn't sleep, steel doesn't dream
Bridge
Birds start calling over the hum
Gears keep turning, the night is done
No rest for the wire, no rest for the wire
Just the pull, just the pull, just the pull
Chorus
Steel doesn't sleep, it just turns cold
Steel doesn't sleep, it grinds and holds
Sun comes up on the same machine
Steel doesn't sleep, steel doesn't dream
