Static at the Counter

[Intro]
[Verse]
Hum of the dairy case
Blue light on a tired face
Grainy feed in shades of grey
Watching the city rot away
Two AM on a Tuesday night
Nothing feels quite right
[Pre-Chorus]
Scan the barcode, hear the beep
While the normal people sleep
Flicker, flicker, neon glow
Where do all the weirdos go?
[Chorus]
Clean up on aisle nine
Losing my mind on company time
Sugar rush and cheap regret
The sun hasn't even started yet
Static at the counter
Static at the counter
[Post-Chorus]
Click, hum, beep
Promise I won't weep
Click, hum, beep
Secrets that I keep
[Verse]
Lady in a sequin gown
Buying milk to wash it down
Man with a tattoo on his neck
Trying to pass a rubber check
Blue slushie bleeding on the floor
Don't let the shadow hit the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Overheard a messy fight
Echoing in the dead of night
Flicker, flicker, neon glow
Watch the tension start to grow
[Chorus]
Clean up on aisle nine
Losing my mind on company time
Sugar rush and cheap regret
The sun hasn't even started yet
Static at the counter
Static at the counter
[Bridge]
Exchange of value, soul for bread
Living like the walking dead
The price is fixed, the profit's high
Underneath a plastic sky
Transaction complete
Get back on the street
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
He says she left the keys
She says she's on her knees
I just want to close my eyes
Watching all the fruit flies
The register is cold and hard
Swipe another plastic card
[Chorus]
Clean up on aisle nine
Losing my mind on company time
Sugar rush and cheap regret
The sun hasn't even started yet
Static at the counter
Static at the counter
[Post-Chorus]
Click, hum, beep
Promise I won't weep
Click, hum, beep
Secrets that I keep
[Outro]
