Track Insight / Lyrics
Yellow paint peels on the fender
Parking brake stuck in November
Card catalog smells like leather
No dispatch calls for the weather
Archive fare, no passenger
Rust on the meter
Waltz in the stacks, slow stir
Engine sings a low purr
Vinyl seats cracked like dry river
Shiver where the heat won't deliver
Overdue books float and quiver
Silence hums, a cold shiver
Archive fare, no passenger
Rust on the meter
Waltz in the stacks, slow stir
Engine sings a low purr
Radio static reads the spines
Forgotten authors, lost lines
Oil stain maps on concrete signs
Where the tire tread aligns
Archive fare, no passenger
Rust on the meter
Waltz in the stacks, slow stir
Engine sings a low purr
Oil pan weeps on the floor
Drip by drip, a slow roar
Taxi dreams of the open shore
Never picks up a fare anymore
Rain taps the glass, a steady beat
Wipers dance on empty street
Memory rides the driver's seat
Journey ends at the library's feet
Tires sink in the concrete grave
No more fares to lose or save
Headlights dim, a dying wave
Quiet cab, the engine gave
Archive fare, no passenger
Rust on the meter
Waltz in the stacks, slow stir
Engine sings a low purr
Old meter stops, the fare is paid
Keys turn off in the shade
