Dust in the teeth 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Smoke curls round the mirror on the dashboard frame

Four a.m. and the city's still in flames

Tires kick gravel like a thousand drummers at once

I chase that sound until I turn into it twice

Pre-Chorus

Rise up, lift your feet off the floor

Feel the engine wake, feel me walking through the door

Chorus

Dust in my teeth, dust on my skin

Ride 'til sunrise comes and we're ready to begin

Every mile is a shadow I throw behind

I keep driving till the morning light decides

Verse

Neon cuts across the rearview glass like a blade

City waking up slow through the smoke that we've made

Tires howl against the curb where the streetlights used to stand

I turn and there's nothing left but open road and hand

Pre-Chorus

Rise up, lift your feet off the floor

Feel the engine wake, feel me walking through the door

Chorus

Dust in my teeth, dust on my skin

Ride 'til sunrise comes and we're ready to begin

Every mile is a shadow I throw behind

I keep driving till the morning light decides

Bridge

Let go of your name let go of your fear

Nothing but the hum of four a.m. wheel

Every breath you take turns into dust and fire

We are leaving what was left in your eyes

Dust to glass, glass to sky

This is where we come alive

I am dust I am flame I am everything you see

Let go let go let the dawn set me free

Chorus

Dust in my teeth, dust on my skin

Ride 'til sunrise comes and we're ready to begin

Every mile is a shadow I throw behind

I keep driving till the morning light decides
