He scrapes the grill at quarter to three
Grease sings sharp in minor key
Headlights sweep the gravel drive
Where brass sleeps deep barely alive
Gravel watch dont tick for me
Twilight holds the memory
Moog bass groans the Juno sighs
Buried gold in frozen skies
Coffee stains the Formica top
Regulars talk never stop
He wipes a ring checks the window pane
Watch face catches waning plane
Gravel watch dont tick for me
Twilight holds the memory
Moog bass groans the Juno sighs
Buried gold in frozen skies
Kitchen clock spins digital red
Cook dreams of the gears inside dead
Spring unwound the crown pulled out
Time buried deep beyond all doubt
Linn
Drum snaps the silence tight
Falsetto cuts the industrial night
He flips a burger flips the years
Hears the tick no human hears
Shift ends slow the sky turns blue
Watch face reflects the morning dew
He locks the door pulls up his collar
Guards the time a silent scholar
Gravel watch dont tick for me
Twilight holds the memory
Moog bass groans the Juno sighs
Buried gold in frozen skies
Next night returns the grill gets hot
Watch stays put gives what it's got
No hands to wind no chain to hold
Just gravel warm and metal cold
Gravel watch dont tick for me
Twilight holds the memory
Moog bass groans the Juno sighs
Buried gold in frozen skies
Cold steel hums the watch stays deep
Cook sleeps days the secrets keep
