Track Insight / Lyrics
Silver mist on the bay shore
I can't take the fake anymore
Bus ticket tucked in my sleeve
Ready for the city to leave
Plastic booths and a vinyl seat
Counting pulses on a concrete beat
Your lens captures every low glare
Static humming in the salt air
Electric Pier, humming in the haze
Burning through the foggy gray days
Electric Pier, guarding every view
I am staying here, staying with you
Coffee stains on a paper map
Falling right into a neon trap
Wry little smile on a tired face
Looking for a different kind of place
Electric Pier, humming in the haze
Burning through the foggy gray days
Electric Pier, guarding every view
I am staying here, staying with you
Flash the bulb, freeze the frame fast
Something that is built to actually last
Cold wind biting through a thin thread coat
Watching for a distant fishing boat
Click the shutter, keep the focus tight
Sucking up the buzzing purple light
We are ghosts in a wide angle shot
Taking everything that we have got
Broken glass and a salty breeze
Walking through the harbor with a freeze
No more running to a dead end street
Where the water and the pavement meet
Electric Pier, humming in the haze
Burning through the foggy gray days
Electric Pier, guarding every view
I am staying here, staying with you
Stay with you, stay with you
Flash the light, out of blue
(Snap, snap)
Electric Pier
