Track Insight / Lyrics
Meter clicks on cracked vinyl seat
Fare left a cigarette burning sweet
Rain traces paths on windshield glass
Night shift ends, I watch the hours pass
Fire escape frequency, humming low
Iron rungs glow where the summer winds blow
Static stitches the dark to the dawn
Two quiet strangers, the night carries on
Coils warm in the dusk's last amber
Antenna kisses the sky's thin chamber
Morse taps out a lover's name
Flames of signal, never the same
Fire escape frequency, humming low
Iron rungs glow where the summer winds blow
Static stitches the dark to the dawn
Two quiet strangers, the night carries on
Curb side preacher shouts at the moon
His voice cracks on a borrowed tune
I light a match, shield the flame
This city knows my middle name
Fire escape frequency, humming low
Iron rungs glow where the summer winds blow
Static stitches the dark to the dawn
Two quiet strangers, the night carries on
Pigeons roost on the rusted rail
Their feathers catch the dusky veil
Logbook open, ink dried black
Every contact finds its way back
Taxi idles, engine coughs
Radio breathes in the scaffolding lofts
No fare collected, no message sent
Just the rhythm of the pavement's lament
Dawn breaks the grip of the summer night
Iron rungs release, holding tight
Cab rolls away, the mic goes cold
Stories of dusk, quietly told
Fire escape frequency, humming low
Iron rungs glow where the summer winds blow
Static stitches the dark to the dawn
Two quiet strangers, the night carries on
Static sleeps on the iron stair
Summer dusk, no shadow of doubt
