Crank Peg
[Verse 1: Beading rhenium-lung male MC, beading] Booth cold under a palm that knows every fray I carry grease and timing and a chart that still fits day Top crank holds the first gag, I seat and pass it on Evening crew waits on my gag before they cue at dawn Hands on the crank, lungs full of dust and chalk Headset dead for hours, so the voice becomes the walk I do not own the booth, I own the middle span If my peg blanks out, the whole gag loses plan [Hook: Beading rhenium-lung male MC, loud, beading] Crank pegged on the bar I refused to drop Not a speech, a seating you can feel and mop Grip the crank, keep the pace, send the next line through Set holds only if the middle gag is true [Verse 2: Beading rhenium-lung male MC, colder, beading] I learned the mark from a comic who left no name Only a worn booth chart and a habit that became the game Tonight the peg slips like a quiet dare I feel the hang before the house lights care Fat kick waits on my mouth to land the seat I sing the bars they need and keep the line neat No banner, no speech about pride or the past Just horse on a rise and a gag that has to last Beading through the doubt like a vow with no crowd Loud enough for the peg, quiet enough for the cloud [Bridge: Beading rhenium-lung male MC, crank lurch, beading] Crank lurch under both palms Kick answers hard on the calm Crowd never needs a speech to know The set is mine when the peg says so [Verse 3: Beading rhenium-lung male MC, beading, louder] The peg seats free and the room takes the proof I step back half a pace and let them own the roof Boots on the grade already testing the give I hear the laugh once and know the gag will live My job is the timing, not the plaque or the board Peg seats, bars hold, that is the whole reward Leave the chart folded where the next dawn can see Crank lurch means the set and the night agree [Hook: Beading rhenium-lung male MC, loud, beading] Crank pegged on the bar I refused to drop Not a speech, a seating you can feel and mop Grip the crank, keep the pace, send the next line through Set holds only if the middle gag is true [Outro: Beading rhenium-lung male MC, proud cold, fat kick rings out and fade] crank lurch, Saturday Tell the set I said stay [End]
