[Intro] [Whispered] (Vinyl crackle rides, tape hiss in my ear) (Old organ loop slide, bring that bassline near) [Verse 1] If you want my touch, then treat me clean Talk soft in the dark, keep your hands seen If you want my fire, keep your heart sure Don’t test my blade on a love not pure I’m a stepping razor, feel me on your skin [Pre-Chorus] Do not watch my size, do not scan my frame I cut the proud down, I don’t call no name [Chorus] I’m a stepping razor—step with care Slow wine close but don’t you dare Danger, danger, hear my body call Play me wrong and watch your whole world fall [Dub Break] [Robotically whispered] Ša-maš, light my waist Tiāmat, taste the tide Long dragon, curl in the bass A-na-ku—roll and slide [Verse 2] Gods above I flex, dragons under slow I murmur one spell and the deep winds glow Give me rough respect, dirty and plain Come slick with lies and I call down rain [Pre-Chorus] Do not bring weak steel to this bedroom storm Do not tease the heat till it’s full form [Bridge] Aḫḫū—feel me, karû—draw near Salt sweat thunder, make it clear Ziqqurat heartbeat, underground tone I guard my body, I guard my throne [Chant] Step—step—step with care Razor—razor—in the air Danger—danger—do not stare Bend your pride into a prayer [Final Chorus] I’m a stepp—stepp—stepping razor I’m a stepp—stepp—stepping razor Danger… danger… feel me now Bow to this heat, or move somehow [Outro / Dub Break] [Whispered spoken ad-libs] Easy bredren… treat me good… keep your distance… Šu-lu, šu-lu… my deep tide remembers…
