Track Insight / Lyrics
Burn the coffee, flip the steak
Watch the early morning wake
Same old faces, same old town
Wait for midnight to settle down
The diner clock is ticking slow
I have nowhere left to go
Broken pieces on the street
Where the oil and water meet
Ceramic blue in the neon glare
Floating in the midnight air
Grease is thick upon the grill
Everything is standing still
Count the quarters in the jar
Looking at a distant star
The diner clock is ticking slow
I have nowhere left to go
Broken pieces on the street
Where the oil and water meet
Ceramic blue in the neon glare
Floating in the midnight air
Motel lot is damp and wide
Nowhere left for me to hide
One small chip upon the rim
Light is growing grey and dim
Shatter like a sudden sound
Scatter on the frozen ground
White porcelain, jagged edge
Tipped right off the concrete ledge
Broken pieces on the street
Where the oil and water meet
Ceramic blue in the neon glare
Floating in the midnight air
Wipe the counter, clear the tray
Push the lonely ghosts away
Pour a cup of bitter black
Knowing that it won't come back
Broken pieces on the street
Where the oil and water meet
Ceramic blue in the neon glare
Floating in the midnight air
Ceramic blue, cold and grey
Wait for dawn to break the day
