Verse
Velvet rope brushing my thigh
Static jump when your hand slides by
Hair on my arms stands up like a wire
Room holds its breath just before the fire
Speaker hiss climbing up the wall
Every shadow leaning like it's gonna fall
Fingers grazing, sparks in the air
Charge running loose, nobody cares
Pre-Chorus
Is it the current or is it you
Who's the shock running skin to skin through
Do we crackle or does the room ignite
Where's the switch that turns off the night
Chorus
Velvet static, crawling on my skin
Hairline sparks where the low end begins
Velvet static, humming in my chest
Nobody's still till the bass connects
Verse
Cloakroom mirror catching the glow
Ticket stub says one thirty four
Dry ice curling round the velvet seams
Everybody's charged up, nobody's clean
Palms against the rope, letting it go
Current jumping table to floor
Snare hits and the hairs all rise
Static builds behind our eyes
Pre-Chorus
Is it the current or is it you
Who's the shock running skin to skin through
Do we crackle or does the room ignite
Where's the switch that turns off the night
Chorus
Velvet static, crawling on my skin
Hairline sparks where the low end begins
Velvet static, humming in my chest
Nobody's still till the bass connects
Bridge
Skin to skin, no name, no face
Just the hum, just the charge, just the space
Let it build, let it climb, let it stay
Static's the only thing we obey
Chorus
Velvet static, crawling on my skin
Hairline sparks where the low end begins
Velvet static, humming in my chest
Nobody's still till the bass connects
