Intro
Bass hit the concrete, curb feel the heat
Rubber on the pavement, don't miss a beat
Watch the wire shake, watch the wire glow
Here we go, yeah, here we go
Verse 1
Three-fifteen and the curb still humming (humming)
Sub in the trunk got the asphalt jumping (jumping)
Steam out the grate and the laces untied
Left hip, right hip, locked to the ride
Sweat on the collarbone, silver on the cheek
Tire iron rhythm when the shock springs squeak
Count four counts, let the shoulder pop back
Rubber sole scuffing on the yellow lane track
Tension in the calf, let the tendon snap tight
Amber beam slicing through the middle of the night
Earring swinging like a pendulum swing
Knuckles on the fender make the whole frame ring
No soft shoe when we stepping in the zone
Every single vertebrae a microphone (phone)
Grid humming low, generator on heat
We don't need a roof when we own that street (street)
Chorus
Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)
Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)
Two-step heavy on the cracked concrete
Whole town shaking to the eight-oh-eight beat
Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)
Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)
Verse 2
Four-oh-two and the halogen buzzes (buzzes)
Rattling the brickwork, that's what it does is (does is)
Sip cold water from a crushed tin can
Heel drop hard like an eight-piece band
Shadow on the plaster board six feet tall
Shoulder roll, snap, take the hit, don't fall
Neon green mirror on the puddle by the drain
Pulse in the wrist like a midnight train
Double-time tap when the snare drum crack
Spine stays loose but we never pull back
Hydrant dripping on a five-inch heel
Turn a city corner to a spinning steel wheel
Thigh catch the bounce, send it right back down
Teeth feel the tremor from the underground sound
Wires overhead got a hum so mean
Dancing in the flash of a broken machine (machine)
Chorus
Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)
Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)
Two-step heavy on the cracked concrete
Whole town shaking to the eight-oh-eight beat
Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)
Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)
Bridge
Hold that pocket. Freeze that line.
Catch that shudder running up my spine.
One bulb buzzes. Two bulbs blink.
Current runs faster than a brain can think.
Ground gives up, sky turns gray.
Tell me what the rhythm gonna do today.
Wait for the surge, let the power line spark
Cut straight through the cold, cold dark
Chorus
Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)
Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)
Two-step heavy on the cracked concrete
Whole town shaking to the eight-oh-eight beat
Bop till the block lights flicker (flicker)
Drop till the bass get thicker (thicker)
Outro
Bop till the flicker (bop)
Drop till it's thicker (drop)
Curbside shaking
Grid line breaking
Amber to blue
We ain't through
Cut.
