Intro
Cold chrome, wet stone
Sub-bass pressure in the marrow bone (bone)
Look up, zone out
(Watch)
Verse
Sub drops heavy on the collarbone (bone)
Iron dust settling on wet gray stone
Flash bulb strobing through the fractured lens
Rhythm locks jaw where the pavement ends
Pupils go wide in the halogen freeze
Sixty hertz hum shaking down my knees
Cold air rushes in a narrow chest
Heart drum syncing to the kick drum stress
Shadow slides sideways on the cinderblock
Steel toe tapping to a melted clock
High beams scatter on the wet windshield
Signal cuts clean in an empty field
Concrete breathing through the open grate
Lungs take pressure from the heavy weight
Cracked zinc roof showing silver scars
Head tilts back while we watch the stars
Chorus
Cold sky, black tar, we watch stars (stars)
Sub low, pulse hard, we watch stars (stars)
Cold sky, black tar, we watch stars (stars)
Sub low, pulse hard, we watch stars (stars)
Verse
Sweat beads freeze on an arching spine
Blood runs sharp on a low baseline
Mercury vapor in a sulfur glow
Motion stays locked in an endless flow
Breath leaves vapor in the tunnel air
Cables spit blue with a static flare
Footfalls hammer on the wet tarmac
No turn sideways and there is no back
Exhaust fumes rolling off a dead machine
Eyes cut straight through the neon green
Bass wave rippling across the skin
Iron gate rattles where the dark begins
Time bends flat like a crushed tin can
Losing all shape of a waking man
High roof opens to the space afar
Chest vibrates while we watch the stars
Chorus
Cold sky, black tar, we watch stars (stars)
Sub low, pulse hard, we watch stars (stars)
Cold sky, black tar, we watch stars (stars)
Sub low, pulse hard, we watch stars (stars)
Bridge
Sound hits bone like a sudden drop
Feet keep moving and they cannot stop
Sky turns violet then the sky turns pitch
Nerves locked tight to an open switch
Look up straight through the iron grid
Past every secret that the city hid
Far cold sparks in the atmosphere
Nothing else moving but the rhythm here
Outro
Sub low (low)
Pulse hard (hard)
Cold sky
Black tar
We watch stars (stars)
We watch stars (stars)
