Cobbler brush hits horsehair stride
Arcade cabinets open wide
Muted trumpet cries the blues
Leather nods in polished shoes
Brush goes round the meter runs
Arcade flashes arcade hums
Leather knows the weight of miles
Pixels dance in electric aisles
Rain taps rhythm on the grate
Double bass walks heavy freight
High score flashes three initials
Leather holds the city signals
Brush goes round the meter runs
Arcade flashes arcade hums
Leather knows the weight of miles
Pixels dance in electric aisles
Scuff marks tell where wheels have rolled
Arcade lights turn green to gold
Brush goes round in steady time
Leather sings a rhythm rhyme
Conditioner sinks in the hide
Stories etched from every ride
Muted trumpet sighs low down
Double bass walks out of town
Rhodes piano fades to blue
Leather waits for morning dew
Sunrise paints the alley gray
Donkey Kong begins the day
Conditioner sinks in the hide
Stories etched from every ride
Brush goes round the meter runs
Arcade flashes arcade hums
Leather knows the weight of miles
Pixels dance in electric aisles
Final coat brings mirror sheen
Arcade goes to sleep routine
Taxi rests in garage deep
Leather dreams the streets to keep
Brush goes round the meter runs
Arcade flashes arcade hums
Leather knows the weight of miles
Pixels dance in electric aisles
Brush rests down the work is through
Leather watched the arcade too
Meter paid the shift is done
Shining for the morning sun
