Verse 1
Sub in the drainpipe, kick in the knee
Tarmac sticky at a quarter to three
Zip up the windproof, frost on the chin
Scuff on the kerb where the drift roll in
Grip on the railing, heavy in the chest
Bass in the marrow, no room to rest
Pre-Chorus
Pulse in the throat go tick-tick-tick
Sky turn ash where the shadows split
Hold that bounce, don't let it dip
Keep both feet on the razor tip
Chorus
Curbside twitch, don't lose the grip
Scuff on the pavement, shift and slip
Curbside twitch, heavy on the kick
Move till the morning cuts real quick
Verse 2
Amber flashing off the shutter gate
Two-step rhythm in a reckless state
Grit on the sole, diesel on the tongue
Shadows stretch tall but the night ain't done
Steam off the neck, eye in a daze
Cutting through the alley in a violet haze
Pre-Chorus
Pulse in the throat go tick-tick-tick
Sky turn ash where the shadows split
Hold that bounce, don't let it dip
Keep both feet on the razor tip
Chorus
Curbside twitch, don't lose the grip
Scuff on the pavement, shift and slip
Curbside twitch, heavy on the kick
Move till the morning cuts real quick
Bridge
First beam striking right across the lane
Blinding out the yellow, washing out the rain
Don't cut the tempo, don't drop the pace
Moving till the daylight smacks the face
Chorus
Curbside twitch, don't lose the grip
Scuff on the pavement, shift and slip
Curbside twitch, heavy on the kick
Move till the morning cuts real quick
