Track Insight / Lyrics
You walk the alley in the rain.
The wet pavement feels like a stain.
You see a box of rusted gold.
A story that has not been told.
Spin the brass and watch the glass.
Wait for all the crowds to pass.
Old sound in a brand new street.
Keep the rhythm, keep the beat.
The needle scratches on the plate.
You found the music far too late.
The blue light hits the metal rim.
The midnight air is cold and slim.
Spin the brass and watch the glass.
Wait for all the crowds to pass.
Old sound in a brand new street.
Keep the rhythm, keep the beat.
Your coat is soaked through to the skin.
The heavy gears begin to spin.
A salt air song from far away.
To guide you through the city gray.
Spin the brass and watch the glass.
Wait for all the crowds to pass.
Old sound in a brand new street.
Keep the rhythm, keep the beat.
The wind is high, the tide is low.
The oil lamp gives a steady glow.
Forget the wires, forget the light.
Just hold the melody tight.
You wind the key until it clicks.
The clockwork plays its clever tricks.
A sailor's tune in Shinjuku.
The only thing that feels quite true.
Spin the brass and watch the glass.
Wait for all the crowds to pass.
Old sound in a brand new street.
Keep the rhythm, keep the beat.
Turn the handle slow.
Let the music go.
Just let it go.
