[Intro]
Boots crack open on the sidewalk cracks
Eyes bloodshot, chasing midnight snacks
Kicked to the curb but grinning wide
Static-filled veins—nowhere to hide

[Verse 0]
Cold wind biting, but I’m still alive
Hand in my pocket, I scrape to survive
Streetlight flickers, got nowhere to go
Heart’s on fire, foot tapping slow

[Verse 1]
Leather jacket sticking to my skin
Sleeping on buses, waking up again
Pockets full of lint, heart full of dare
Found you in the static, tangled in your hair

[Pre-Chorus]
Four a.m. and trouble’s in the air
Bare feet pounding pavement without a care
You spit out a dare I can’t refuse
This night’s alive—let’s light the fuse

[Chorus]
Wanna assimilate you
Got nothing better to do
Cigarette in one hand, a plan in my mind
Wanna assimilate you
Under flashing street signs

[Post-Chorus]
Yah, yah, yah
Wanna assimilate you
Yah, yah, yah

[Verse 2]
Cheap motel TV broken on the wall
Trash piling up, but I don’t care at all
You laugh like a siren, I howl at the moon
We’re trouble together, and I want it soon

[Pre-Chorus]
Neon stains on yesterday’s shoes
Got a fever I refuse to lose
Say my name with that crooked grin
Let’s start a mess, let’s begin

[Chorus]
Wanna assimilate you
Got nothing better to do
Cigarette in one hand, a plan in my mind
Wanna assimilate you
Under flashing street signs

[Post-Chorus]
Yah, yah, yah
Wanna assimilate you
Yah, yah, yah

[Bridge]
Broken glass glitters on the curb
Laughing at danger, nothing disturbs
Your eyes like matches, strike and spark
Running from dawn, crave the dark

[Verse 3]
Coffee from a paper cup, shaking hands
We steal the sun, ignore the plans
You pull me close, graze my cheek
This fever’s wild, and words are cheap

[Pre-Chorus]
Last bus dives into the gloom
No regrets in this borrowed room
You bite your lip, I lose control
Crashing together, rock and roll

[Chorus]
Wanna assimilate you
Got nothing better to do
Cigarette in one hand, a plan in my mind
Wanna assimilate you
Under flashing street signs

[Post-Chorus]
Yah, yah, yah
Wanna assimilate you
Yah, yah,

[Outro]
Steel-tipped boots kicking in the dawn
Sweat sticking, but we stagger on
You grin reckless, draw me near
We’re wired tight, burning clear

[Post-Chorus]
Yah, yah, yah
Wanna assimilate you
Yah, yah, yah
