Intro
Grab your kit
Come quick
Strap your proton pack
on your back
and let's split
Verse 1
Busted pavement moves beneath my boots
Shadows climb the mortar and grime
Steam hisses up from the grate below
Voices riding on the mist like static on the line
Across the five boroughs, the street lights are coming on
While Nine-to-fivers run home across the Hudson
Pre-Chorus
Somebody used to hold this line
Four boys in gray with fire in their veins
Now their firehouse sits dark and quiet
But something's waking up again!
Chorus
Call us!
We're the Night Shift
Nobody else is coming for the block
Call us! We're the Night Shift
Between the 'hood and Hell, we're all you got!
Post-Chorus
Red Hook
To Queens
We wield the proton streams!
Verse 2
Sodder and hot glue secures the power feed
Cracked casings warm and thrumming at our backs
Tape and zip-ties all that holds together half of what we need
A scrap antenna pulls a signal from the black
The oil-slick puddles, they shiver in the street
Something's breathing deep beneath the cracks!
Pre-Chorus
We pulled the old teck up out the dust
Gearing up to stand against the darkness
Working all night, waking at dusk
The whole damn city depends on us!
Chorus
Call us!
We're the Night Shift
Nobody else is coming for the block
Call us! We're the Night Shift
Between the 'hood and Hell, we're all you got!
Post-Chorus
From dusk
To dawn
We trap that demon-spawn!
Bridge
They got the key to the city back in eighty-nine
Five years on, now it's up to us to hold the line
Skipped out on Tribeca, thought folks didn't care
But baby, we from here. We ain't going nowhere!
We ain't afraid
We ain't afraid!
Chorus
Call us!
We're the Night Shift
Nobody else is coming for the block
Call us! We're the Night Shift
Between the 'hood and Hell, we're all you [Outro]
We're the best we've got
Our city
Our block
Our home
Our fight
Until
Day light!
We ain't afraid
No, we ain't afraid!
No
No
Ooh
Solo
