Track Insight / Lyrics
Sign flickers, coffee steams
Shutter clicks in midnight dreams
One two three four tear it up
Compass spins but won't give up
Booth vinyl cracked, she slides inside
Silver disc hides where knees collide
Camera hangs from calloused thumb
Bus ticket burned, she's finally done
[Pre-
Waitress pours another cup
Steam rises, warming up
Hands shake but the lens stays clear
Three AM brings no fear
Compass needle points to nowhere
Spins like wheels on midnight air
She don't need a map to leave
Just the pulse that makes her believe
Film canister rattles in coat
Pocket warm against her throat
Flash pops, freezes grease and grime
Diner signs become her rhyme
[Pre-
Waitress pours another cup
Steam rises, warming up
Hands shake but the lens stays clear
Three AM brings no fear
Compass needle points to nowhere
Spins like wheels on midnight air
She don't need a map to leave
Just the pulse that makes her believe
Trucker laughs, wipes pie crust off
Flannel shirt, a greasy scoff
Compass clicks against the plate
North is just a choice she makes
[Pre-
Waitress pours another cup
Steam rises, warming up
Hands shake but the lens stays clear
Three AM brings no fear
Compass needle points to nowhere
Spins like wheels on midnight air
She don't need a map to leave
Just the pulse that makes her believe
Keys hit ignition, engine roars
Compass discarded on the floor
One last frame of booth and light
Then she vanishes into night
Shutter snaps the glowing sign
Refuge found in fluorescent light
One frame left on roll twelve
She'll shoot the dawn, she'll shoot herself
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
North is wherever we say!
Compass needle points to nowhere
Spins like wheels on midnight air
She don't need a map to leave
Just the pulse that makes her believe
Compass needle points to nowhere
Spins like wheels on midnight air
No map needed, no map needed
Just the pulse, just the pulse!
Shutter clicks, the booth is empty
Silver disc stays, spinning steady
