Mr Skiffington Rattles The Traps

[Verse 1] Mr Skiffington at the kit Polished shoes, he sits and grips One heel tapping, eyes locked in Like trouble’s got a second skin He counts it off with a grin Then the room goes leaning in Snare drum talking back to him Like, “Go on then, let it begin” [Pre-Chorus] Thumb on the stick He gives that sign Two sharp breaths Then lightning time [Chorus] Mr Skiffington rattles the traps Rattles the traps, rattles the traps He hits so hard, he shakes the maps Mr Skiffington rattles the traps (oh, Mr Skiffington) (rattles the traps) [Verse 2] Moon on the chrome, sweat on the skin Kick drum thumps and the walls cave in Tom-tom rolls like rolling thunder He pulls the whole damn floorboards under Cymbal shiver, snap, and spark He makes that room feel big and dark Then one clean break, the band hangs loose And he drops back in like a runaway fuse [Pre-Chorus] Count it down No need to guess One more breath Then pure chaos [Chorus] Mr Skiffington rattles the traps Rattles the traps, rattles the traps He hits so hard, he shakes the maps Mr Skiffington rattles the traps (hey) (rattles the traps) [Bridge] [Breakdown] One, two, three Hear that crack? He bends the time Then snaps it back [Final Chorus] Mr Skiffington rattles the traps Rattles the traps, rattles the traps He hits so hard, he shakes the maps Mr Skiffington rattles the traps Mr Skiffington rattles the traps Rattles the traps, rattles the traps Hands in the air, bring the whole room back Mr Skiffington rattles the traps
