Track Insight / Lyrics
I ride a belt loop, heavy and dented
Battery blood runs low, contested
Watch a suit trade cred-sticks on the curb
Holo-deal sealed with a nerve
Beam keeps time in this alley's throat
Rain slicks the signs, washes the wrote
Nobody sees what I've seen, nobody knows
Just the hum in my gut where the current flows
Chrome wrist catches light, signals a deal
Synth-skin flashes hot, cold like steel
Street doc stitches a ganger's torn side
My beam holds steady, nowhere to hide
Beam keeps time in this alley's throat
Rain slicks the signs, washes the wrote
Nobody sees what I've seen, nobody knows
Just the hum in my gut where the current flows
Corp drone pukes behind a dumpster bin
Expense account dinner, synthetic gin
Cleaner bot scrubs the splatter by dawn
My lens stays clear, the grime moves on
Beam keeps time in this alley's throat
Rain slicks the signs, washes the wrote
Nobody sees what I've seen, nobody knows
Just the hum in my gut where the current flows
Switch flickers, battery coughs a warning
Dawn bleeds gray through the smog of morning
But I've seen the deals, the kills, the trades
Every secret this alley parade
New shift clicks me on, fresh cell loaded
Another night's stories to be decoded
Regulars know me, they tap my side
Shine on, beam, you're our only guide
Beam keeps time in this alley's throat
Rain slicks the signs, washes the wrote
Nobody sees what I've seen, nobody knows
Just the hum in my gut where the current flows
Beam keeps time, beam keeps time
Click off at dawn, I'll hold the line
Click. Dark. Order up, next shift waits.
