Lyrics
The Iron City cans are sweating on the amplifier top.
It's Saturday, one A.M., and the rhythm doesn't stop.
Condensation on the glass paints a blurry Liberty Bridge,

Yeah, this is the only engine underneath the tired sun!
(Song stops abruptly. 4 seconds of silence.)
[Outro]
Just the hum... in the concrete...
