Track Insight / Lyrics

Blue denim shoulders catch the morning glare Sparks fly like phosphorescence off his arc Motel sign flickers buzzing in dry air He lifts his hood to wipe the sweat and tar [Pre- The lamp keeper knows this steady flame Each bead a pulse in copper vein No storm can shake this measured claim The dark retreats from weld and rain Desert arc light cuts the haze clean Steel bones rise where nothing grew He builds his horizon serene Blue collar gold in morning dew Santa Fe hills wear ochre like old rust Veranda posts hold shadows long and lean His torch sings hymns to iron iron trust No lighthouse beam cuts sharper cuts more clean [Pre- The lamp keeper reads the metal's tongue Each joint a knot in heavy line No foghorn sounds when day is done Just cooling slag in morning shine Desert arc light cuts the haze clean Steel bones rise where nothing grew He builds his horizon serene Blue collar gold in morning dew Tourists snap the adobe red and round He measures gap and tack and bead and gap No postcard view can match this metal sound Each seam a map no storm can ever trap Salt air memory rides the trade wind west Kerosene scent on calloused thumb He knows the pressure knows the test The arc writes history to come Desert arc light cuts the haze clean Steel bones rise where nothing grew He builds his horizon serene Blue collar gold in morning dew Sun dips low behind the Sangre range Long shadows stretch across the welded frame He packs his rods accepts the daily change Another skeleton bears his name Desert arc light cuts the haze clean Steel bones rise where nothing grew He builds his horizon serene Blue collar gold in morning dew Desert arc light cuts the haze clean Steel bones rise where nothing grew Hood down keys in ignition turn Wide sky swallows tail light burn
