Lyrics
[Verse 1] Midnight shift on the underground line Sodium lights flash one at a time Concrete rhythm beneath my shoes Carrying rhythm, shedding the blues Nobody asks where the traveler goes Only the wind and the subway knows [Chorus] Float on the current, let the heavy weight drop Nowhere to hurry, no place left to stop Just an echo bouncing off the tile wall Catching the balance right before the fall Yeah, we drift along [Verse 2] Static hum of a telephone wire City is sleeping, but burning its fire Shadows lengthen across the dark street Tracing a pattern we used to repeat Nothing to prove in the cool of the haze Turning the page on the usual ways [Chorus] Float on the current, let the heavy weight drop Nowhere to hurry, no place left to stop Just an echo bouncing off the tile wall Catching the balance right before the fall Yeah, we drift along [Bridge] Time slows down when the voltage dips low Nothing moves fast down the avenue row We are the pulse in the spacing between Quietly rewriting every scene [Guitar solo] [Instrumental break] [Chorus] Float on the current, let the heavy weight drop Nowhere to hurry, no place left to stop Just an echo bouncing off the tile wall Catching the balance right before the fall Yeah, we drift along [Outro] Fade to the corner Just let it linger Slip through the fingers Outro groove [Fade out]
