Split the Queue

[Intro] [One bar distorted bass alone] [Two clipped guitar stabs] [One beat of silence] [Drums lock in] [Verse 1] Panel says red on the northbound line I key the mic: “hold at nine” Platform’s packed to the yellow seam One train’s too close to the tunnel mouth [Chorus] Route it back, hold that track Read me clear, don’t send it through Call by call, i keep them stacked One wrong signal splits the queue [Verse 2] Radio spits, then the board goes blind “Southbound standing—confirm the sign” I throw the switch, hear the relay bite Crowd at the stairs, keep the doors shut tight [Chorus] Route it back, hold that track Read me clear, don’t send it through Call by call, i keep them stacked One wrong signal splits the queue [Guitar solo] [Chorus] Route it back, hold that track Read me clear, don’t send it through Call by call, i keep them stacked One wrong signal splits the queue [Outro] Northbound stopped. southbound clear. Keep the platform back from here.
