Intro
(Glass shatters in the alleyway)
Lamplight makes a maze of the street
I lose myself, you find me, sweet
Verse 1
Concrete under my feet, graffiti eyes
Nightmares in broad daylight, the city never dies
Bruised knuckles on the steering wheel I hold
Four a.m. traffic lights, the crowd's just a cold
Chrome wheels spinning, I'm the only one awake
The neon sign above me, a warning to partake
I speed down the avenues, the wind in my face
My heart is a raccoon dog, it's got no fixed place
Hook
Lampost vertigo, you're the cause of my fall
Lampost vertigo, I'm spinning, standing tall
Verse 2
Streetlights like a hundred suns above me
The city's a maze of steel and stone and free will
I drive all night, got the music loud and clear
A thousand miles from home, but nowhere's here
My tires screech on the curb, my heart skips a beat
I'm chasing the dark, it's where I meet my street
The city's a beast that never sleeps or hides
And in its eyes, I see my own demise
Hook
Lampost vertigo, you're the cause of my fall
Lampost vertigo, I'm spinning, standing tall
Verse 3
The night is a velvet cloak that I wear with pride
I'm the king of the shadows, where the sun never hides
My heart is a jackrabbit, it's got no fixed pace
I run all night, through the city's darkest space
The lamp posts watch me, they see me at my best
A rebel, an outcast, but I pass the test
In this world of concrete and steel and stone
I'm just a ghost in the machine, but I'm not alone
