Lyrics:
[Intro] Slag on my fingers, jacket split at the seams Red-eyed commuters flicker in fevered dreams Lean on a railing, shadows spit gasoline Changing my angle, breathing nicotine [Pre-Verse] Fast talk, slow motion, silver bites the tongue Low-watt confession hissing off the rung [Verse 0] Twilight shivers shaking under wire and glass Shoelaces trailing, haunted faces pass Ticket stub memories lost beneath my feet Velvet rain drips down the Brighton Street [Verse 1] Hollow-eyed morning, boots heavy with regret Cheap perfume clings, cold sweat on the cassette Tattered suit jacket, borrowed from a friend Notes scrawled on napkins, wishing for the end [Pre-Chorus] Flicker of a lamplight, lost on crooked stone Give me one true signal, lead this stray back home [Chorus] Electric Orpheus calling from the underground Wires spark and shudder on your crown Cracked voice singing as the cables burn One side sighs, the other one yearns [Post-Chorus] Ahh ahh β the city moans Ahh ahh β stray unknowns [Verse 2] Cash in my pocket, barely enough for the train Bent keys on this piano, scratching at the windowpane Bleeding fingers strumming static through the haze Stumbling through the alleys, just waiting for a change [Pre-Chorus] Glitter on the gutter, boots stained gray Give me something broken, take the gloss away [Chorus] Electric Orpheus calling from the underground Wires spark and shudder on your crown Cracked voice singing as the cables burn One side sighs, the other one yearns [Post-Chorus] Ahh ahh β the city moans Ahh ahh β stray unknowns [Verse 3] Glass bottle rolling by an overcoat asleep Sirens chase the rhythm in a city that canβt weep Paint chips flake in time on a neon avenue Mouthful of thunder, dream tasting like glue [Pre-Chorus] Cigarette ash drifts in a yellow beam Show me something honest, crack the cold machine [Chorus] Electric Orpheus calling from the underground Wires spark and shudder on your crown Cracked voice singing as the cables burn One side sighs, the other one yearns [Post-Chorus] Ahh ahh β the city moans Ahh ahh β stray unknowns [Bridge] Shadow on the pavement, footsteps lose their way Silver threads of feedback coil into the gray Still searching for the current beneath this crooked sun Holding tight to fragments of what we canβt outrun [Chorus] Electric Orpheus calling from the underground Wires spark and shudder on your crown Cracked voice singing as the cables burn One side sighs, the other one yearns [Post-Chorus] Ahh ahh β the city moans Ahh ahh β stray unknowns Ahh ahh β the city moans Ahh ahh β stray unknowns [Outro] Last train rattles, skin stuck to the seat Plastic roses wilting where the gutter kings meet Sparks in the midnight, asphalt humming slow Dragging home lost verses no one will know [Outro Chorus] Electric Orpheus singing in the wire Ashes on the concrete, smoke climbing higher Broken chord ringing till the morning is done Chasing sweet static, forever unsung [Post-Chorus] Ahh ahh β the city moans Ahh ahh β stray unknowns
