Track Insight / Lyrics
Griddle sizzlin', bacon crack
Grease on plates, a greasy track
Busboys stackin', waitresses sway
Just another end of day
But up here on this fire escape
Moonlight paints a silver drape
Across the bricks, a ghostly glow
Iron moonbeam, watch me go
City sighs, a distant drone
Streetlamp flickers, all alone
Concrete canyons, shadows creep
Another secret that I keep
But up here on this fire escape
Moonlight paints a silver drape
Across the bricks, a ghostly glow
Iron moonbeam, watch me go
This old ladder, my steel ascent
To a silence that heaven sent
Stars are pinpricks in the night
My only view, a burning light
A distant siren, a mournful call
Echoes through the shadowed wall
But up here, I find my peace
In the rhythm of the city's cease
Five a.m., the world's asleep
My vigil ends, the shadows leap
Back into darkness, day's rebirth
A silent promise, on this earth
But up here on this fire escape
Moonlight paints a silver drape
Across the bricks, a ghostly glow
Iron moonbeam, watch me go
