Cold steel ribs hold blue breath tight
Pressure gauge reads three-zero-night
Wrench teeth bite my valve cap crown
Basement jazz shakes dust back down
I'm the hit that wakes the dead
Piston hearts begin to pound
Blue lightning in a steel sled
Chicago drinks my nitro sound
Grease thumb prints on my cold flank
Saxophone honks from a corner tank
He checks the line for tiny leaks
While piano man bangs ivory shrieks
I'm the hit that wakes the dead
Piston hearts begin to pound
Blue lightning in a steel sled
Chicago drinks my nitro sound
Solenoid clicks my seal breaks wide
Four-banger sucks me deep inside
Valves float on a frozen wave
Jazz club basement starts to rave
I'm the hit that wakes the dead
Piston hearts begin to pound
Blue lightning in a steel sled
Chicago drinks my nitro sound
Exhaust paints the brick walls black
Regulars don't even look back
Coffee cups rattle on the shelf
I'm just pressure steel and self
I'm the hit that wakes the dead
Piston hearts begin to pound
Blue lightning in a steel sled
Chicago drinks my nitro sound
Cold shot blue breath gone
