Verse
Ticket stuck at the barrier arm
Red light steady, engine warm
Painted arrow curls out of sight
Level four again under sodium light
Spiral ramp holds the same wide bend
Wheels keep circling, never descend
Concrete pillar, number worn thin
Same parked car where I pulled back in
Pre-Chorus
Tell me which way is out
Tell me which way is in
Tell me why every ramp
Brings me back to level four again
Chorus
Level four, level four
Barrier down, nothing more
Level four, level four
Circle wide, close the door
Verse
Exhaust hangs low where the light won't reach
Ticket machine gives the same dead beep
Painted lines fading under my tires
Same grey pillar, same dead wires
Meter clicks but the gate stays shut
Horn goes quiet, gives it up
Rearview mirror shows the same turn
Nothing to leave, nothing to learn
Pre-Chorus
Tell me which way is out
Tell me which way is in
Tell me why every ramp
Brings me back to level four again
Chorus
Level four, level four
Barrier down, nothing more
Level four, level four
Circle wide, close the door
Bridge
Count the floors
Lose the count
Concrete doesn't
Let the engine out
Arm stays down
Light stays red
Every ramp
Leads back instead
Chorus
Level four, level four
Barrier down, nothing more
Level four, level four
Circle wide, close the door
