Spark in My Own Machine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I run this room on one good move I tell myself, “Now prove it.” My left foot says, “We’re ready.” My right foot says, “We knew it.” I set my shoulders just so And let the whole beat know I came dressed to outshine the clock I came dressed to outshine the clock [Pre-Chorus] Who’s got the nerve? I do, I do! Who’s got the step? I do, I do! I give myself the count of four Then kick the count across the room [Chorus] I’m the spark in my own machine Say it back: “You run this scene!” I’m the spark in my own machine Say it back: “You run this scene!” I make the rhythm turn around I make the rhythm turn around One more time, I’m saying it loud One more time, I’m saying it loud [Verse 2] I check my grin against the beat My grin says, “Keep it moving.” I tell my knees to mind their business They answer by improving I snap once—good I snap twice—better I make my own good company And I can’t find a smoother debtor I’m paying myself in dance steps I’m paying myself in dance steps [Bridge] Hey, self! Right here! You ready? All year! I’ve got a pocket full of nerve And one more turn I didn’t rehearse I tell myself, “Don’t lose the plot.” I tell myself, “I never do.” [Chorus] I’m the spark in my own machine Say it back: “You run this scene!” I’m the spark in my own machine Say it back: “You run this scene!” I make the rhythm turn around I make the rhythm turn around One more time, I’m saying it loud One more time, I’m saying it loud [Outro] Who’s still got it? I do, I do! Who’s still got style? I do, I do! I leave myself a little room To make the next move bigger I run this room on one good move And tell myself, “Now prove it.”
