Lyrics
Verse 1 - male vocal
I brought you seven gears from the railway station floor,
To fix your steady watch and make the pendulum soar.
I want to find a tempo in this quiet city square,
With only broken glass and empty streets to share.
Chorus - duet
Oh, jump and swing beneath the open sky,
While silent factory smoke drifts way up high.
We tap our leather soles upon the stone,
To prove we never dance here all alone.
Verse 2 - female vocal
We sync our heavy boots to the ticking of the gears,
And dance away the dust of all these lonely years.
We ignore the morning light along the rusted steel,
Just caught up in the spin of every turning wheel.
Chorus - duet
Oh, jump and swing beneath the open sky,
While silent factory smoke drifts way up high.
We tap our leather soles upon the stone,
To prove we never dance here all alone.
Bridge - female vocal
The sun climbs up and turns the rhythm into sound,
As the city wakes and shakes the solid ground.
We finally stop our dance because the world has begun,
To beat in perfect time beneath the noon day sun.
Chorus - duet
Oh, jump and swing beneath the open sky,
While silent factory smoke drifts way up high.
We tap our leather soles upon the stone,
To prove we never dance here all alone.
