Slinging hash since half past four
Grease is leaking through the floor
Cold brew in a plastic cup
Wait for the sun to wake on up
The heat is heavy on the street
Salty air and concrete heat
Sinking deep into the wood
Feeling like the night is good
Iron on the fire escape
Oak wood in a rocking shape
Swaying slow while city lights
Hum a song for summer nights
Regulars want eggs and toast
The midnight shift is what I roast
Burned my thumb on the silver grill
Everything is standing still
The heat is heavy on the street
Salty air and concrete heat
Sinking deep into the wood
Feeling like the night is good
Iron on the fire escape
Oak wood in a rocking shape
Swaying slow while city lights
Hum a song for summer nights
Clinking metal, rhythmic beat
Coming from the brick and heat
Listen to the iron groan
I am here but not alone
Distant bells and humming wires
Summer air like low-burn fires
One more shift then I can go
Let the heavy rhythm flow
Iron on the fire escape
Oak wood in a rocking shape
Swaying slow while city lights
Hum a song for summer nights
Wipe the counter, lock the door
I can't take the pressure more
Rocking back and forth again
Counting down until the ten
Iron on the fire escape
Oak wood in a rocking shape
Swaying slow while city lights
Hum a song for summer nights
Just a little swing.
Iron and oak.
Yeah, just like that.
