The Silver Line

[Intro]
[Verse]
Midnight oil beneath my nails
Chasing down the rusted rails
Shift is over, clock is dead
Echoes ringing in my head
I’m tired of the greasy floor
I’m heading for the heavy door
My vintage girl is waiting there
With gasoline and velvet air
[Pre-Chorus]
Cut the lights and kill the sound
Sneaking past the holy ground
The padlock snaps, the chain falls down
I’m the king of this ghost town
[Chorus]
Burn the rubber, feel the heat
I am more than this concrete
Flying on a silver line
Making every second mine
Let the needle hit the red
Leave the ghost town in my head
Yeah, I’m finally alive
Thriving on the overdrive
[Post-Chorus]
Overdrive
Just to feel alive
Overdrive
Watch me come alive
[Verse]
Rust and chrome and jagged steel
Finally I’m at the wheel
Built this ghost with my own hands
Far away from their demands
No more fixing broken dreams
Tearing through the velvet seams
The finish line is just a blur
Listen to the pistons purr
[Pre-Chorus]
Sun is bleeding through the grey
Night is giving up the day
I can hear the engine hum
Waiting for the beat to come
[Chorus]
Burn the rubber, feel the heat
I am more than this concrete
Flying on a silver line
Making every second mine
Let the needle hit the red
Leave the ghost town in my head
Yeah, I’m finally alive
Thriving on the overdrive
[Bridge]
They say I’m stuck in low gear
Feeding on the same old fear
But look at how the sparks fly
Underneath the morning sky
I’m electric, I’m a fire
Climbing up the copper wire
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Burn the rubber, feel the heat
I am more than this concrete
Flying on a silver line
Making every second mine
Let the needle hit the red
Leave the ghost town in my head
Yeah, I’m finally alive
Thriving on the overdrive
[Post-Chorus]
Overdrive
Just to feel alive
Overdrive
Watch me come alive
[Outro]
