[Intro:] Mmm... mmm... [Verse 1:] I see them dancin' in the neon rain They fall, they rise, they fall again Their elbows sharp, their hearts are wide They keep a gentle light inside And when the whirlpool pulls them in I lift my voice above the din [Pre-Chorus:] I lift my hands to the strobe-lit sky And sing the prayer for the ones who fly No shields, no armor, only love I ask the heavens up above [Chorus: ] God protect our slammers Give them strength to stand Through the crowd and the whirlpools Holdin' hand in hand Keep their faces out of harm Every bruise becomes a charm They'll carry bruises and their love Until the festival lights above [Verse 2:] I've seen them take a kick and smile And dance another faithful mile They spit the dust and find the beat And plant their battered, steady feet The night is long, the sun will rise They'll reach the end with shining eyes [Pre-Chorus 2:] I lift my hands to the strobe-lit sky And sing the prayer for the ones who fly No shields, no armor, only love I ask the heavens up above [Chorus 2:] God protect our slammers Give them strength to stand Through the crowd and the whirlpools Holdin' hand in hand Keep their faces out of harm Every bruise becomes a charm They'll carry bruises and their love Until the festival lights above [Bridge] I am one of them, I fall, I rise I lift my bruises to the skies And if I bleed, I bleed in time To the kick, to the kick, to the kick drum line [Final Chorus:] God protect our slammers Give them strength to stand Through the crowd and the whirlpools Holdin' hand in hand (...holdin' hand in hand) Keep their faces out of harm Every bruise becomes a charm They'll carry bruises and their love Until the festival lights above [Outro:] God protect our slammers... bruises and love... till the end...
