Iron spine drinks misty air
Counter clicks without a care
Ghost bird lands on guy wire tight
Keeps his vigil through the night
Bridge keeps count of silent things
Half-life decay and feathered wings
Meter runs on borrowed time
No passenger pays for this climb
Rain once meant a better fare
Now acid drops strip paint to bare
Owl blinks slow at blinking red
Dreams of mice in fields of dead
Bridge keeps count of silent things
Half-life decay and feathered wings
Meter runs on borrowed time
No passenger pays for this climb
Wheel turns but the road don't move
Nothing left for me to prove
Contamination reads three-six
Owl don't care for politics
Bridge keeps count of silent things
Half-life
