Sip of Espresso at the Zinc Counter

[Intro] [Espresso Machine Knock & Steam] Knock the grounds, lock the handle tight Brewing espresso on a rainy night [Verse 1] [Boombap Kick-Snare & Upright Bass] Cold zinc counter polished silver bright Thick ceramic demitasse catching the light Brass espresso lever pulled down with a hiss Dark roasted beans in the bean hopper [Pre-Chorus] [Rhodes Chords & Finger Snaps] Standing upright while drizzle drums outside No complicated thoughts we have to hide [Chorus] [Punchy Boombap Jazz Drop] Cold zinc counter and an espresso cup Waking the rhythm of the city up Two quick sips of the bittersweet brew Cutting right through the afternoon blue [Verse 2] [Upright Bass Solo & Rhodes] Barista wipes the metal with a cloth Hot water quickly dissolves the froth Rain coats dripping on the tiled floor Travelers stepping through the open door [Bridge] [Soulful Vocal Run & Rhodes Solo] Quick espresso on a stormy afternoon Brings sharp clarity arriving soon Zinc beneath my palms and roasted beans [Chorus] [Full Grand Boombap Climax] Cold zinc counter and an espresso cup Waking the rhythm of the city up Two quick sips of the bittersweet brew Cutting right through the afternoon blue [Outro] [Cup Tap on Zinc & Steam Whoosh] Zinc counter espresso... Sharp and clear. [Fade Out] [End]
