[Verse 1] “We’re not dropping off cargo” He said under his breath Steel deck humming under our boots Paperwork neat as death “Could have fooled me hard” Hunter laughed at the load Shrink-wrap shining like water Over lies we towed [Chorus] This is the bait for our switch Quiet trick under bright white lights We’re moving more than potato chips today On a long slow Friday night Push these pallets off into the bay Watch another one roll in place It’s the same gray face on a different crate But the story’s changed (and the stakes are raised) [Verse 2] “Empty boxes, Huh Dave?” She kicked at the side “Not quite ” he said And he smiled “they’re just not the reason we ride” Clipboards Coffee Small talk Dock crew killing the time Too many hands for a nothing load Too much order for a simple line [Bridge] Well Push these pallets off Dock rats pushing one on If anyone’s counting bodies They’ll swear nothing’s wrong Might seem like too many Just to shuffle that weight But we’re sliding ghosts through a daylight gap Right under their gates [Chorus] This is the bait for our switch Quiet trick under bright white lights We’re moving more than potato chips today On a long slow Friday night Push these pallets off into the bay Watch another one roll in place It’s the same gray face on a different crate But the story’s changed (yeah, the story’s changed) [Outro] There’s a price on their heads, They weren’t supposed to know. We’re taking seven out of harms way. Nobody will see them go. That’s why the story changed (And we were never here)
