Midnight Circuit Run

Lyrics

Verse 1
Neon scars on the skyline
Cheap shades
Cracked on my nose
Laughing in the rearview
Lipstick crooked
Glovebox full of stolen codes

Kickback seat
Boots on the dashboard
Tag on my jacket says “wanted again”
Skidding past a checkpoint
Sirens wake up
Every hungry gang and their friends

Chorus
I’m on a midnight circuit run
Burning through the black
Come catch me
Every corner’s teeth and guns
Still I’m pushing back
Don’t test me
City wants my blood tonight
But I won’t bow
I bite
On this midnight circuit run
You can chase my light
But you’ll never get me

Verse 2
Alleyway deal
Chrome-toothed handshake
Cards flick flash in his hand
Drone cams hum over rusted rooftops
We cut the feed and floor it again

Spray paint ghosts on the overpass pillars
Old crew tags they never erased
Gang colors glow in the holo-billboards
We toast to the risk and the taste

Chorus
I’m on a midnight circuit run
Burning through the black
Come catch me
Every corner’s teeth and guns
Still I’m pushing back
Don’t test me
City wants my blood tonight
But I won’t bow
I bite
On this midnight circuit run
You can chase my light
But you’ll never get me

Bridge
Beat drops to bass and claps
Blue lights dance in the cracked rear glass
“Pull over” scrolling in red
I smile
Gear up
Heel to the floor
“I’d rather crash than be led” (yeah)

Tires scream
Tunnel turns silver
Markings blur
Heart hits the roof
Gang bikes mirror
Cops on my bumper
And I’m still laughing
Still bulletproof (hey!)

Chorus
I’m on a midnight circuit run
Burning through the black
Come catch me
Every corner’s teeth and guns
Still I’m pushing back
Don’t test me
City wants my blood tonight
But I won’t bow
I bite
On this midnight circuit run
You can chase my light
But you’ll never get me
