Track Insight / Lyrics
Check the meter, check the rain
Driving circles, feeling strain
Down on 4th and Main we glide
Nowhere left for us to hide
Brass telescope hums in the ground
Deep in the dark, a humming sound
Looking for stars through the subway floor
Opening up a secret door
Cold wind cuts through every street
Pavement burning under feet
I seen fares from every state
Walking slow or running late
Brass telescope hums in the ground
Deep in the dark, a humming sound
Looking for stars through the subway floor
Opening up a secret door
Concrete tunnels, iron rails
Old man tells some dusty tales
Hidden glass and polished gold
Stories that are never told
Brass telescope hums in the ground
Deep in the dark, a humming sound
Looking for stars through the subway floor
Opening up a secret door
Coffee black and engine hot
Finding every kind of spot
City breathes a heavy sigh
While the midnight trains go by
Shift the gear and hit the brake
One more turn for heaven's sake
Underneath the platform light
Something glowing in the night
Silver coins and leather seats
Rhythm of the city beats
Looking down at brass and chrome
Finding out a way back home
Brass telescope hums in the ground
Deep in the dark, a humming sound
Looking for stars through the subway floor
Opening up a secret door
Just a humming sound.
Keep the meter running.
Brass telescope.
Yeah.
