[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 — the city moans
Ahh ahh — 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 — the city moans
Ahh ahh — stray unknowns

[Verse 3]
Glass bottle rolling by an overcoat asleep
Sirens chase the rhythm in a city that can’t 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 — the city moans
Ahh ahh — 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 can’t 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 — the city moans
Ahh ahh — stray unknowns
Ahh ahh — the city moans
Ahh ahh — 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 — the city moans
Ahh ahh — stray unknowns
