Cold metal under my bare feet
Summer air smelling like the street
I hold my camera to the gray
Watching the daylight slip away
Humming light in the heavy haze
Cutting through the purple summer glaze
Watchman sweeping the iron stair
Electric humming in the humid air
You stand below in a navy coat
Low gravel singing a lonely note
The beam of light hits the rusty rail
A golden streak and a silver trail
I snap a shot of your tired face
Frozen inside of this hollow space
The shutter clicks like a closing door
I want to see what you're looking for
Humming light in the heavy haze
Cutting through the purple summer glaze
Watchman sweeping the iron stair
Electric humming in the humid air
Stop the clock and hold the frame
Forget the city and forget my name
Just a flash and a sudden spark
Breaking the grip of the coming dark
You look up high and you see me there
Wind blowing wild through my tangled hair
A sudden nod and a knowing glance
Two lonely ghosts in a midnight dance
Humming light in the heavy haze
Cutting through the purple summer glaze
Watchman sweeping the iron stair
Electric humming in the humid air
Humming light, humming light Into the night
Iron Escape!
