Verse
Organ stab lands on the upbeat crack
Shoulders jerk forward then snap right back
Snare skips sideways, hi-hat's swung tight
Cup sweats warm in my hand all night
Radiator ticking behind the stack
Exit sign glowing red and black
Elbow to elbow, we ride the skank
Stab hits the gut like a second heartbeat bank
Pre-Chorus
Who set the clock when the organ's this loud
Who called last orders on this crowd
Stab keeps stabbing, we lose the count
Time's just a number the bassline discounts
Chorus
Organ stab curfew, clock's gone dead
Stab in the ribs where the bassline led
Organ stab curfew, we don't leave
Skip on the two, skip on the three
Verse
Security's radio crackles through the dark
Sub comes up through the floorboard bark
Jacket's hung on the rail, gone stiff and cold
Night bus idling, engine running old
Breath fogs up where the fire door cracks
Stab lands again, pulls us right back
Chain-link rattle where the smokers stand
Organ's the only clock in my hand
Pre-Chorus
Who's counting minutes when the stab's this deep
Who's calling curfew when the floor won't sleep
Stab keeps stabbing, we lose the round
Time's just static under this sound
Chorus
Organ stab curfew, clock's gone dead
Stab in the ribs where the bassline led
Organ stab curfew, we don't leave
Skip on the two, skip on the three
Bridge
Lights come up, but the stab don't quit
Ringing in my ears holds onto it
Walk out cold, still skip the beat
Organ's stuck under my feet
Chorus
Organ stab curfew, clock's gone dead
Stab in the ribs where the bassline led
Organ stab curfew, we don't leave
Skip on the two, skip on the three
