[Verse 1]
Areya rolls in at dusk
Dust on his work boots
Badge on the chest
Eyes like a bad cut
He got that Rivian key
And a grin too thin
You hear that case click
When he steps back in
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, "Hold still now"
Like he knows your name
Cold hands on the tailgate
Something ain't right with that frame
[Chorus]
Torque wrench ghost
Torque wrench ghost
He comes for the lane
Then he disappears slow
Torque wrench ghost
Torque wrench ghost
You lock that door
When you see him close
[Verse 2]
In the bay out back
There's a ragged old mark
Oil on the concrete
And a bruise in the dark
Folks talk low at shift change
Say don't let him near
'Cause he fixes what breaks
Then leaves you in fear
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, "Hold still now"
Like he knows your name
Cold hands on the tailgate
Something ain't right with that frame
[Chorus]
Torque wrench ghost
Torque wrench ghost
He comes for the lane
Then he disappears slow
Torque wrench ghost
Torque wrench ghost
You lock that door
When you see him close
[Bridge]
If you hear that click-clack
At the edge of town
Better keep both eyes up
And your window down
'Cause the night don't forget
Who was cruel and cold
And Areya leaves a shadow
Where the hard roads hold
[Final Chorus]
Torque wrench ghost
Torque wrench ghost
He comes for the lane
Then he disappears slow
Torque wrench ghost
Torque wrench ghost
You lock that door
When you see him close
