Coffee stains on a plastic tray
Cheap grease smells in the light of day
Walk the alley where the oil spills
Steel and copper and electric thrills
Plant the seed in the heavy black oil
Watch the metal begin to uncoil
Chrome Root Garden in a city of glass
Waiting for the winter to pass
Monstera grows in a leaden pot
Where the humid air is thick and hot
Call it Deltoid in the rainy glare
Static humming in the heavy air
Plant the seed in the heavy black oil
Watch the metal begin to uncoil
Chrome Root Garden in a city of glass
Waiting for the winter to pass
Slinging burgers for a meager pay
Counting minutes till the end of day
Find the corner where the wires bleed
Give the circuitry the water it needs
Plant the seed in the heavy black oil
Watch the metal begin to uncoil
Chrome Root Garden in a city of glass
Waiting for the winter to pass
Dig the dirt with a rusted old spoon
Underneath a synthetic white moon
Syllables of Latin in the grime
Growing slowly in a digital time
Rickenbacker humming through the street
Rhythmic pulse of the motorized beat
Watch the petal turn a metallic blue
Something honest and something brand new
Plant the seed in the heavy black oil
Watch the metal begin to uncoil
Chrome Root Garden in a city of glass
Waiting for the winter to pass
Chrome Root Garden
Deep in the soil
Yeah, let it grow
Let it grow
