Track Insight / Lyrics
Grease pops on the griddle early
Coffee steam climbs through fluorescent haze
Regulars laugh at my jokes clearly
Night shift hums in a yellow blaze
Iron anchor bites the frozen rail
Fog swallows tracks in a silent veil
My hands still smell of grease and steel
Morning comes but the night feels real
Spoon clinks against a chipped white cup
Radio crackles a low midnight tune
I lift the ladle, steam rises up
Fog drifts past the signal's yellow moon
Iron anchor bites the frozen rail
Fog swallows tracks in a silent veil
My hands still smell of grease and steel
Morning comes but the night feels real
Bell rings, an order for two eggs over
Grease splatters on my worn denim sleeve
Fog spreads a blanket, hiding every cover
Morning waits but I'm not ready to leave
Iron anchor bites the frozen rail
Fog swallows tracks in a silent veil
My hands still smell of grease and steel
Morning comes but the night feels real
Coffee cold now, shift ends in an hour
I wipe the grill down with a rag worn thin
The anchor rests, rust blooming like a flower
Fog lifts slow, letting daylight in
Iron anchor bites the frozen rail
Fog swallows tracks in a silent veil
My hands still smell of grease and steel
Morning comes but the night feels real
