Lightin Up the Night (Verse 1) They call me the man from Building Two From Mexico, I came, with tools in my bag, Fixing those fixtures, lighting up the crew I answer my radio, twenty one, go From Mexico, I came, with tools in my bag, Fixing those fixtures, lighting up the crew They call me the man from Building Two (Verse 2) Tango and salsa, long nights on the line, People don’t listen, I’m just tryin’ to shine. Got a thick accent, but they know who I am, Respect from my brothers, just call me the man. (Chorus) Oh, the engineer of the Ballast, With his hands of gold, he’ll make it bright. Pink and Purple wires all day long I fix with hands, while I sing this song. Oh, the engineer of the Ballast, With his hands of gold, he’ll make it bright. Pink and Purple wires all day long I fix with hands, while I sing this song. (Verse 3) From dusk to dawn, I’m chasin’ the light, With a heart full of passion, I’ll make wrongs feel right. Each flicker I fix, it’s a little piece of me, In a world full of shadows, I’m the one who sets free. (Verse 4) With my hands in the wires, I’m feelin’ the heat, Screwdrivers and pliers, the rhythm's bittersweet. They don’t see my struggle, they don’t feel my pain, But I fix every spark, and I dance in the rain. (Chorus) Oh, the engineer of the Ballast, With his hands of gold, he’ll make it bright. Pink and Purple wires all day long I fix with hands, while I sing this song. Oh, the engineer of the Ballast, With his hands of gold, he’ll make it bright. Pink and Purple wires all day long I fix with hands, while I sing this song. (Bridge) The smell of old copper, the hum of the line, Every late night hustlin’, I’m breakin’ the grind. When the world’s falling dark, I’m the one that they call, An engineer of dreams, I’ll light up it all. (Verse 5) So here’s to the nights, and the battles I’ve fought, With sweat on my brow, there's more to this than thought. I’m fixin’ their fixtures, but I’m fixin’ my heart, With every lamp I brighten, I’m playin’ my part. (Chorus) Oh, the engineer of the Ballast, With his hands of gold, he’ll make it bright. Pink and Purple wires all day long I fix with hands, while I sing this song. Oh, the engineer of the Ballast, With his hands of gold, he’ll make it bright. Pink and Purple wires all day long I fix with hands, while I sing this song. (Outro) So when you see the glow in the night sky above, Remember my name, it’s the work that I love. From Mexico to here, I’ll shine what I know, With every little fixture, I’m helpin’ us grow.
