Cold coffee in a paper cup
The midnight moon is waking up
I watch the humming buzz of red
While all the town is fast asleep in bed
Pink light shaking on the lake
A promise that we couldn't break
Deep black water, electric glow
Watching the velvet river flow
You lean against the rusted door
Your boots are scuffing on the floor
The humming glass begins to flare
A static charge inside the humid air
Pink light shaking on the lake
A promise that we couldn't break
Deep black water, electric glow
Watching the velvet river flow
The humming tube begins to blink
The heavy current starts to sink
We trace the lines of old motels
Like ringing out some distant Sunday bells
Pink light shaking on the lake
A promise that we couldn't break
Deep black water, electric glow
Watching the velvet river flow
The graphite sky is turning grey
We watch the colors drift away
The humming buzz is finally still
A quiet wind across the frozen hill
Pink light shaking on the lake
A promise that we couldn't break
Deep black water, electric glow
Watching the velvet river flow
Sinking down in Cauldron Black.
Just a humming buzz of red.
