Verse
Heel drops first where the shaker ticks
Toe rolls in on the two-step click
Strobe cuts blue then it cuts to black
Pattern resets, we don't lose the track
Cup rim sweats on the windowsill
Kick drum knocking like it's got a bill
Snare skips left where the hi-hat splits
Feet read the code that the bassline writes
Pre-Chorus
Who wrote the steps that we never learned
Who locked the groove that we all return
Pattern repeats and the room agrees
Nobody's teaching, nobody leads
Chorus
Shuffle the code, lock in the frame
Same four steps, no one to blame
Shuffle the code, feet know the key
Door stays shut till the last one leaves
Verse
Strobe stutters twice where the bass line dips
Shoulder cocks back on the offbeat flip
Radiator hums through the breeze block wall
Somebody's trainer scuffs the whole floor smooth
Chain on the door swings loose and slow
Security's torch beam skips the row
We swap the step like we swap a note
Nobody speaks it, everybody knows
Pre-Chorus
Who set the pace that the sub line keeps
Who counts the bars while the shutter creaks
Pattern repeats and the room agrees
Nobody's teaching, nobody leads
Chorus
Shuffle the code, lock in the frame
Same four steps, no one to blame
Shuffle the code, feet know the key
Door stays shut till the last one leaves
Bridge
Cipher in the ankle, cipher in the knee
Passed it round the circle, nobody speaks
Floor keeps the record, floor keeps the time
Feet already know it before the mind
Chorus
Shuffle the code, lock in the frame
Same four steps, no one to blame
Shuffle the code, feet know the key
Door stays shut till the last one leaves
