Track Insight / Lyrics
Cold Coffee By The Passenger-Side Door
I Had Watched This Corner For A Restless Year
Tarpaulin Kicked Beneath The Streetlight Glow
One Tiny Fry Slipped Down Beside The Wheel
[Pre-
Two Wings Circle In The Streetlight Glow
Two Sharp Voices Whistle, Here They Go
They Grab Each End And Pull Me Off The Ground
Then Screeching Turns The Whole Block Around
One Little Fry Went Skidding From The Cart
Two Hungry Gulls Came Howling, Each One Smart
They Grabbed My Two Ends, Then Shot Off Like Darts
While Crumbling On The Pavement Played My Part
Rush-Hour Traffic Staggered Through The Sleet
Wet Taxis Idled Underneath The Light
A Gull Rode Shotgun, Hungry, Out Of Spite
One Curb-Cut Flung Me Dancing In The Light
[Pre-
A Flap Of Canvas Catches Me From Nowhere
Two Hungry Voices Whistle, There I Go
They Pull Me Underneath The Crosswalk Air
Sharp Beaks Turn Midnight Into A Stare
One Golden Specklet Dropped Beside The Cart
Two Hungry Gulls Came Howling, Playing Smart
They Grabbed My Two Ends, Then Shot Off Like Darts
Then I Crumbled While They Raced Into The Dark
A Quarter-Note Siren On The Cross-Town Bridge
A Bus Made Thunder As It Rumbled Below
One Shadow Grabbed Me From The Western Side
The Second Gull Came Howling From Below
[Pre-
I Felt Two Pairs Of Feathers Close And Near
I Heard Two Hungry Whistles Cutting Through
They Pulled In Opposite Directions, Clear
And Crumb By Crumb They Dragged My Skin Apart
One Little Fry Had Fallen From The Cart
Two Hungry Gulls Came Howling, Each One Smart
They Carried Me Like Midnight Shooting Stars
Then Dropped Me Where The Broken Sidewalk Scars
A Paper Bag Surrendered To The Gust
A Parking Meter Flashed Its Copper Sign
And Then The Road Ran Empty Down The Line
Both Gulls Forgot The Meter, Lost The Time
[Pre-
A Feather From One Wingland On The Hood
A Scrap Of Paper Spiraled Through The Blue
No Hungry Crow Was Smart Enough, Nor Good
They Both Reached For Me, And I Pulled Through
One Last Small Morsel Rolled Out From The Cart
Two Hungry Gulls Came Back, Each One Smart
They Yanked Me Through An Alley, Neon Flare
And Left Me With No One Left To Share
Across The Blacktop, Crumbs Are Rolling Slow
Taxi Bells Go Singing Where The Seagulls Go
Empty Paper, Feather, Scrap Below
That's How All Midnight Cravings Come And Go
