Steel Won't Sleep lyrics
Verse
Your shoulder finds my shoulder first
Strobe cuts white through the black rehearsed
Hundred bodies, one machine
You're the only one I've seen
Pre-Chorus
Hand goes up and yours meets mine
Static jumping down the line
Floor tilts hard on the bassline drop
Steel won't sleep and neither stops
Chorus
Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
Keep the pulse, don't break the loop
Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
Verse
Smoke rolls low between our feet
Your eyes lock on every beat
Nine hundred strangers fade to grey
You're the signal, clear and stay
Pre-Chorus
Hand goes up and yours meets mine
Static jumping down the line
Floor tilts hard on the bassline drop
Steel won't sleep and neither stops
Chorus
Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
Keep the pulse, don't break the loop
Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
Bridge
Forget the door, forget the clock
This room remembers every shock
Your palm on mine, the current stays
We're the last light in the maze
Chorus
Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
Keep the pulse, don't break the loop
Steel won't sleep till the lights come up
