Track Insight / Lyrics

Cold steel on a concrete floor The last train doesn't run no more I hold my camera in my hand A stranger in a hollow land Unwind the heavy iron chain Wash away the city stain Drag the anchor through the grit Until the midnight lanterns lit Flash bulbs pop in a sudden blur The sleeping subway stations stir I snap a shot of a rusted gate A lonely soul who learned to wait Unwind the heavy iron chain Wash away the city stain Drag the anchor through the grit Until the midnight lanterns lit Silver tracks lead to nowhere fast A shutter click to make it last I trace the rust on a metal beam A jagged edge of a broken scheme Unwind the heavy iron chain Wash away the city stain Drag the anchor through the grit Until the midnight lanterns lit Bus tickets crumpled in my coat A humming song inside my throat I watch the oil in a puddle spin Waiting for the morning to begin Lift the weight from the platform edge Walking out on a narrow ledge The iron snaps with a sudden sound Leaving me on the frozen ground Copper wire and a broken lens This is where the city skyline ends I pack my bag and I walk away Into the ghost of a winter gray Unwind the heavy iron chain Wash away the city stain Drag the anchor through the grit Until the midnight lanterns lit Heavy iron chain. Drag it through the grit. (Humming fade)
