Steel on the Dancefloor

Intro

Long week.

Short fuse.

Good shoes?

Bad news.

Verse 1

Clocked out late with a borrowed smile,

Held my tongue for a hundred miles.

Bills back home in a kitchen drawer—

They can wait till half past four.

You walk in with your collar tight,

Still got Monday in your eyes.

Leave that weight with your coat downstairs.

Nobody checks your job in here.

Build

Feel that kick beneath your feet.

Let the pressure find a beat.

When the guitars hit the room,

Give your tired heart some room.

Chorus

There's steel on the dancefloor,

Fire in the lights.

We bend but we don't break

When the heavy and the heartbeat collide.

Hands up to the ceiling,

Heads down with the sound.

If the world keeps pushing,

Let it hear us pushing back now.

Drop

Move your feet.

Shake the floor.

Bring that heavy heart—

We'll make room for one more.

Verse 2

Your best shirt's sticking to your skin,

Someone's lost a safety pin.

Big guy guarding the bathroom door

Knows every word and wants one more.

No one's asking what you earn,

Who you know or whose damn turn.

For one night we can all belong,

With a crooked grin and the same loud song.

Build

Feel that kick beneath your feet.

Let the pressure find a beat.

When the guitars hit the room,

Give your tired heart some room.

Chorus

There's steel on the dancefloor,

Fire in the lights.

We bend but we don't break

When the heavy and the heartbeat collide.

Hands up to the ceiling,

Heads down with the sound.

If the world keeps pushing,

Let it hear us pushing back now.

Extended Guitar Solo

Breakdown

Rent goes up.

Wages crawl.

Still got breath.

Still stand tall.

One more kick.

One more chord.

We got more

Than we came here for.

Final Chorus

There's steel on the dancefloor,

Fire in the lights.

We bend but we don't break

When the heavy and the heartbeat collide.

Hands up to the ceiling,

Heads down with the sound.

If the world keeps pushing,

Let it hear us pushing back now.

Final Drop

Move your feet.

Shake the floor.

Bring that heavy heart—

We'll make room for one more.

Outro

Long week.

New day.

Same bills.

Dance anyway.
