Work This Time (Kalgon CH Mix)

V4.5-ALL

[Intro] [high-frequency digital pulse, bit-crushed percussion] [Main Section] [resonant filter sweeps on white noise, sub-bass pulse] [staccato metallic pings with gated delay] [Breakdown] [granular synthesis bursts, digital artifacts] [sudden silence gaps] [Intro — instrumental] [metallic click] Try it again. ... Yeah. That's not gonna work this time. [Verse 1] Turn the key Count to four Same old sound Different door Little spark Little smoke Something catches Something broke Tap the glass Check the line That worked once— Not this time. [Pre-Chorus] Pressure's good Current's fine Everything says Everything's fine [Chorus] But that's not gonna work this time That's not gonna work this time You can cross that wire You can straighten that line You can turn it off Turn it back on— That's not gonna work this time. [Instrumental passage] [Verse 2] Clean the points Clear the feed Give it everything It says it needs Pull it out Push it in Watch the little wheel Spin again There it goes— There it went. Funny how the fix Gets bent. [Pre-Chorus] Pressure's good Current's fine Every little needle Right on the line [Chorus] Still that's not gonna work this time That's not gonna work this time You can change the fuse You can change your mind You can swear you know What went wrong— That's not gonna work this time. [Breakdown — sparse] Hold that. No— Hold— ... Never mind. [Instrumental interruption] [Bridge] Maybe it's the circuit Maybe it's the load Maybe something happened Further down the road Maybe there's a fracture Too small to find Maybe it was always there— Waiting for its time. [Final Chorus] That's not gonna work this time That's not gonna work this time You can patch the hole You can paint the sign You can make it look Like nothing's wrong— That's not gonna work this time. [Instrumental release] [Outro — half-spoken] Try it again. [click] ... See?
