Grey booth leans on concrete bones
Geiger sings in monotone
Driver pulls the window down
Pays the toll for dead ground
Needle trembles in the glass
Shadows stretch on broken asphalt
Night shift ends but light won't come
Radium dust hums low and numb
Geiger Gate takes the last fare
Rust blooms white on iron there
Click by click the counter dies
Watcher waits with hollow eyes
Logbook pages yellowed deep
Ink dried up in eighty-six
Coat hangs heavy on the hook
Boots stand welded in the floor's crook
Needle trembles in the glass
Shadows stretch on broken asphalt
Night shift ends but light won't come
Radium dust hums low and numb
Geiger Gate takes the last fare
Rust blooms white on iron there
Click by click the counter dies
Watcher waits with hollow eyes
Stray dog barks at invisible lines
No passengers no county signs
Radio spits a white noise hiss
Driver won't be back again
Meter stopped but time rolls on
Zone don't care who's right or wrong
Half-life ticks in bone and steel
Collector keeps the turning wheel
Geiger Gate takes the last fare
Rust blooms white on iron there
Click by click the counter dies
Watcher waits with hollow eyes
Dawn breaks pale on cooling towers
Silence weighs like leaden hours
Booth door creaks on rusted hinge
Final coin slips past the fringe
Geiger Gate takes the last fare
Rust blooms white on iron there
Click by click the counter dies
Watcher waits with hollow eyes
Click fades out on empty road
Geiger Gate bears the heavy load
