[Intro] Steam hissing Billboards bleeding code Rain tastes like rust Her name’s already sold [Verse 1] Gunmetal boots on the scaffold stairs Nicole walks sharp Electric glare Neon scars on her leather sleeve Target tagged in her optic feed (yeah) Heat-sign ghost in the factory maze Chrome-mask faces all look the same She time-stamps threats in a quiet mind “Dead or alive” on a countdown line [Chorus] Steel halo Nicole Hunting through the smoke and cold If you see that crimson scope Better make your peace Let go Steel halo Nicole (hey) Heartbeat syncs to overload In the gutters of New Neo Tokyo She’s the last thing that you’ll know [Verse 2] Assembly-line eyes watching her pass Drones drift low over broken glass Mark cuts left through a shuttered gate Ink-black hood and a borrowed face She vaults chains Lands hard on steel Knee to jaw Makes the ghost man real He spits “They’ll pay you to bury me” She grins “They already did You see” (oh) [Chorus] Steel halo Nicole Hunting through the smoke and cold If you see that crimson scope Better make your peace Let go Steel halo Nicole (Nicole) Heartbeat syncs to overload In the gutters of New Neo Tokyo She’s the last thing that you’ll know [Bridge] [Guitar solo over half-time stomp] Sirens smear into buzzing light Her shadow’s burned on the concrete white He begs “Got kids on the other side” She just tags proof and kills the line [Chorus] Steel halo Nicole Hunting through the smoke and cold If you see that crimson scope Better make your peace Let go Steel halo Nicole (oh Nicole) Paid in cash and broken codes In the arteries of New Neo Tokyo She’s the last thing that you’ll know
