Ghost Winch

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain hitting the cold steel (Drip)
White knuckles on the wheel (Grip)
Sub-bass vibrating in the chassis (Low)
This industrial district is nasty (Whoa)
Water rising to the door frame
Nobody here knows my name
Just a ghost in the diesel smoke
Engine sounds like a heavy choke (Ugh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Yellow lights cutting through the fog
Barking like a metal dog
Hat-flutters in my weary brain
Driving through the liquid pain
[Chorus]
Heavy chains on the wet ground (Clink)
Dragging metal through the ghost town (Sink)
808s hitting like a heart attack
Once I hook it, ain't no turning back
Flood zone, neon lights flickering
Old gods in the wires bickering
[Hook]
Drag it out (Yeah)
Lock it down (Brrr)
In the flood (Look)
Lost and found
Drag it out (Yeah)
Lock it down (Brrr)
Silent king (Look)
Of the town
[Verse]
Found a Wraith in the dark canal (Ghost)
Leather seats smelling like a funeral (Lost)
Saw a girl in the rearview mirror
Blink once and the image is clearer
She vanished when the winch started groaning
The modular synth starts moaning
Paranoia in the lo-fi filter
World’s tilting off the kilter (Tilt)
[Breakdown]
Hi-hats trip (Trip)
Claps hit hard (Hard)
Watch your step (Step)
In the yard (Yard)
Steel on stone
Left alone
Broken throne
Dead zone
[Bridge]
Underground races in the dry dock (Vroom)
Nitrous oxide in the toxic smog (Boom)
They pay me to clear the wreckage
Hidden in the encrypted message
Tires spinning in the oily sludge
I’m the only one who won’t judge
Luxury scrap in the rising tide
Nowhere for the rich to hide
[Chorus]
Heavy chains on the wet ground (Clink)
Dragging metal through the ghost town (Sink)
808s hitting like a heart attack
Once I hook it, ain't no turning back
Flood zone, neon lights flickering
Old gods in the wires bickering
[Post-Chorus]
Baritone rumble in the cab (Deep)
Secrets are the only thing I keep (Sleep)
Watch the strobe on the light bar
I can tow any broken star
[Verse]
Staccato rhythm in the heavy rain
Diesel pumping through every vein
The city is a graveyard of chrome
I’m the only one who feels at home
Modular leads screaming in the night
Avoiding every single street light
One more pull before the sun rises
Dealing with the dark surprises (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Heavy chains on the wet ground (Clink)
Dragging metal through the ghost town (Sink)
808s hitting like a heart attack
Once I hook it, ain't no turning back
Flood zone, neon lights flickering
Old gods in the wires bickering
[Outro]
