Track Insight / Lyrics
My meter clicks a steady beat
While wipers kiss the dirty street
I drove a fare to sector three
He paid in rubles, whiskey, tea
Where the bridge sighs low and wet
And the counter sings its threat
Green tomatoes kiss the sky
Before the winter winds blow dry
We hum a tune the static knows
Where the half-life garden grows
My dosimeter ticks my time
Like meter running on a dime
You drive the roads through falling mist
I tend the rows by gravity kissed
I seen the foxes, bold and red
Sleep on the coolant pipes for bed
The asphalt cracks where roots push through
Nature takes back the steel we knew
Where the bridge sighs low and wet
And the counter sings its threat
Green tomatoes kiss the sky
Before the winter winds blow dry
We hum a tune the static knows
Where the half-life garden grows
No passengers ask where we go
Just isotopes in undertow
Your steering wheel, my trowel deep
Promises the world to keep
I graft a shoot from mutated stock
Defying every Geiger clock
The harvest glows a faint soft blue
But tastes like summer, sweet and true
Where the bridge sighs low and wet
And the counter sings its threat
Green tomatoes kiss the sky
Before the winter winds blow dry
We hum a tune the static knows
Where the half-life garden grows
Static fades on the radio
Half-life blooms where headlights glow
