Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust kicks up behind the Greyhound tires
Sunset paints the telephone wires
Film advance thumb knows the rhythm by heart
Capturing the distance between stop and start
Gravel crunches low beneath the boot heel
Twilight turns the copper arrow steel
Shutter clicks a moment put to sleep
Promises I swore I would not keep
Copper arrow spinning on the garage roof
Pointing north but stuck on bulletproof
Twilight holds its breath on gravel drive
Waiting for the night to arrive
Copper arrow, copper arrow
Turn me round before the narrow
Diner neon bleeds on Formica table
Ketchup packet prophets unable
To read the map I drew on condensation
Finger tracing roads to destination
Copper arrow spinning on the garage roof
Pointing north but stuck on bulletproof
Twilight holds its breath on gravel drive
Waiting for the night to arrive
Copper arrow, copper arrow
Turn me round before the narrow
Payphone rings a collect call static
Voice cracks sharp, almost automatic
Mom says dinner's cold upon the stove
I watch the vane rotate above
Moog bass humming in the chest pocket
Juno pads wash out the socket
Where the bulb blew out in ninety-four
I don't run away, I run toward
Copper arrow spinning on the garage roof
Pointing north but stuck on bulletproof
Twilight holds its breath on gravel drive
Waiting for the night to arrive
Copper arrow, copper arrow
Turn me round before the narrow
Key turns over, ignition cylinder
Engine purrs a low familiar singer
Headlights paint the verdigris tail bright
Copper arrow cuts the indigo night
Copper arrow spinning on the garage roof
Pointing north but stuck on bulletproof
Twilight holds its breath on gravel drive
Waiting for the night to arrive
Copper arrow, copper arrow
Turn me round before the narrow
Copper arrow, copper arrow
Spin me home, spin me home
Click the winding lever, advance the frame
Copper arrow calls my name
