Steel ribs rest on silted keel
Counter clicks through mist and steel
Rusted hull begins to heal
Quiet now the harbor's real
Geiger tide comes rolling in
Tugboat rests on rusted fin
Bridge above glows faint and white
We survive another night
Deck plates cold beneath my feet
Radium dust on winch and seat
No voice calls across the fleet
Only clicks mark time complete
Geiger tide comes rolling in
Tugboat rests on rusted fin
Bridge above glows faint and white
We survive another night
Paint peels back like dead skin layers
Counting clicks through broken prayers
Reactor shadow falls on players
Silent horn no longer blares
Lead lines snap in current grip
Tow rope coiled for final trip
No rescue ship will cross this line
This harbor's mine this harbor's mine
Geiger tide comes rolling in
Tugboat rests on rusted fin
Bridge above glows faint and white
We survive another night
Fathoms deep the silt remembers
No logbook for cold Decembers
Anchor chain in mud dismembers
Silence holds what sound surrenders
Geiger tide comes rolling in
Tugboat rests on rusted fin
Bridge above glows faint and white
We survive another night
Dawn breaks pale on concrete spans
Geiger chorus still commands
Iron lungs and calloused hands
Tugboat waits where harbor stands
Geiger tide comes rolling in
Tugboat rests on rusted fin
Bridge above glows faint and white
We survive another night
Geiger tide we hold the line
This harbor's ours this harbor's mine
Engine turns on borrowed time
Counter clicks a steady rhyme
