Track Insight / Lyrics

Keys in the mirror, brass and bare Dawn on the windshield, cold and fair Streetlights shiver, engines glare New day circles without him there Streetlights comb the wide avenue Old Buick wears the morning blue Copper keys hang one inch from done He waves once at the rising sun Dawn says hurry, fate can wait City windows turn to gray A full tank, a pocket fare Still no room, and no way He carries keys that know no door Old brass strangers on a foreign floor Every lock demands a price Every home sits beyond the ice Rain taps windshield, cold and thin Radio talks from coast to coast Fares go quick, but home stays locked Cold coffee leaves a bitter toast Mileage funds another day He knows the road but not the way The meter fills with empty air The keys still open nothing there He carries keys that know no door Old brass strangers on a foreign floor Every lock demands a price Every home sits beyond the ice Tenement doors refuse his hand Taxi signs point where strangers ran Motel brass wears his childhood shape Lost keys vanish underneath the gate He carries keys that know no door Old brass strangers on a foreign floor Every lock demands a price Every home sits beyond the ice Bridge toll rings like warning clear Turn signals blink beside the gear Engine knocks until fear is heard Dawn breaks, but he stays deferred He carries keys that know no door Old brass strangers on a foreign floor Every lock demands a price Every home sits beyond the ice He carries keys that know no door Old brass strangers on a foreign floor Every turning opens wide Every heart has slipped outside Bus wheels hum, the avenue wakes Old Buick answers with a groan His keys ring softly through the dark Dawn takes him off the mark
