Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Teeth of steel spinning loud
Dust in my lungs and the blade sings sharp
Every board I feed it now
Carves a line through timber and spark
Calloused hands know the cost
One slip and the floor turns red
Measure twice I never lost
The hum is always in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
I respect the grain
I respect the spin
But the saw doesn't care
About the skin it's in
[Chorus]
Table saw table saw
King of the shop and the unfinished door
Table saw table saw
One wrong push and you're not coming back no more
[Post-Chorus]
(Not coming back)
(Not coming back)
(Not coming back no more)
[Verse 2]
Ripped through oak at noon
Ripped through pine at dusk
Every finger knows the tune
Every knuckle feels the thrust
Push stick in my right hand
Second mark on the fence line
Crosscut crown and through the stand
Never give it half your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
I respect the grain
I respect the spin
But the saw doesn't care
About the skin it's in
[Chorus]
Table saw table saw
King of the shop and the unfinished door
Table saw table saw
One wrong push and you're not coming back no more
[Post-Chorus]
(Not coming back)
(Not coming back)
(Not coming back no more)
[Bridge]
Miter gauge and a steady stance
Kickback waits for your second glance
Guard the blade with fear and care
The workshop knows this everywhere
[Drop]
Spin spin spin
Don't you pull your hand in
Spin spin spin
Don't you pull your hand in
[Chorus]
Table saw table saw
King of the shop and the unfinished door
Table saw table saw
One wrong push and you're not coming back no more
[Outro]
(Not coming back)
(Not coming back)
Not coming back
