Track Insight / Lyrics

You crack the eggs on the flattop steel Grease pops loud like a busted heel Coffee burns in the chipped white cup Night shift drags but you don't give up Flashlight sits on the cold iron guard Beam draws a line on a grease-stained card Flashlight rests on the boiler plate Jazz bleeds up through the kitchen grate Watchman snores in the vinyl chair Muted trumpet cuts the heavy air You wipe the grill with a rag so worn Light stays bright till the gray of morn Tickets spike on the silver rail Regulars groan a familiar tale Eggs over easy bacon crisp tight You serve the plate in the fluorescent light Basement sax gives a low deep sigh Flashlight beam doesn't blink an eye Flashlight rests on the boiler plate Jazz bleeds up through the kitchen grate Watchman snores in the vinyl chair Muted trumpet cuts the heavy air You wipe the grill with a rag so worn Light stays bright till the gray of morn Old guy reads a racing form Keeps the cold dark night still warm Coffee thermos stainless steel Shares a joke bout the last meal Light on the boiler steady and red Guards the dreams in the basement bed Flashlight rests on the boiler plate Jazz bleeds up through the kitchen grate Watchman snores in the vinyl chair Muted trumpet cuts the heavy air You wipe the grill with a rag so worn Light stays bright till the gray of morn Sky turns purple over Clark Street Grill goes quiet the rush complete Watchman stretches picks up his gear Flashlight clicks off the basement clear You lock the door wipe the counter down Best damn eggs in this windy town Flashlight rests on the boiler plate Jazz bleeds up through the kitchen grate Watchman snores in the vinyl chair Muted trumpet cuts the heavy air You wipe the grill with a rag so worn Light stays bright till the gray of morn
