[Intro] One, two Kick it loose Bare hands Bare room [Verse 1] Scrape the strings Like a fence We’re half awake But still in. Same old look New old grin Count to ten Then start again [Chorus] Static in the eyes Electric in the bone We’re never quite together But we’re never quite alone. Turn it up to zero Break the level light We’re doing it for nothing And we’re doing it all night. All night doing allright, Allright just all night. [Verse 2] Heel to toe Run the line Deadpan faces Sharp as wire. Little rhyme Big machine Bored and buzzing In between. We’re doing it for nothing And we’re doing it all night. All night doing allright, Allright just all night. [Verse 3] Fuzzy low end Finds the floor Mouths keep shouting Wanting more. We are done Then we’re not. Hit the edge And stop. [Chorus] Static in the eyes Electric in the bone We’re never quite together But we’re never quite alone. Turn it up to zero Break the level light We’re doing it for nothing And we’re doing it all night. All night doing allright, Allright just all night. [Verse 4] Cables like a snake Across the concrete floor Heavy on the pedal Kicking down the door. Borrowed time and rhythm Stolen breath and heat The bug is in the system And the system’s on the beat. We’re doing it for nothing And we’re doing it all night. All night doing allright, Allright just all night. [Verse 5] Silver in the glass Black across the wall Wait for the vibration Wait for it to fall. No one’s getting older, No one’s getting paid We’re living in the sorrow Of the noise we made. [Bridge] Rhian, Hester Same small voice Easy joke Hard choice. Faster now Dust in the teeth Round and round No relief. [Verse 6] Ink on the palm Sweat on the neck Check the connection Double-check the check. A flickering signal A crack in the glass Watching the minutes Watching them pass. [Chorus] Static in the eyes Electric in the bone We’re never quite together But we’re never quite alone. Turn it up to zero Break the level light We’re doing it for nothing And we’re doing it all night. All night doing allright, Allright just all night. (Outro) Whistle like a wolf. Suck-teeth, yeah! That's right. You've tried. Now, Give it a go.
