Rusted bolts hold midnight weight
Grease stains map the years I ate
Short-order cook of steel and rain
I've seen it all I feel no pain
Iron don't blink when oculars glow
Summer dusk turns lethal slow
Netrunner hides in shadow seams
Iron don't blink iron don't dream
Boot heels tap my third rung down
Chrome fingers grip the peeling brown
Kid's got ice behind those eyes
Running hot on borrowed time
Iron don't blink when oculars glow
Summer dusk turns lethal slow
Netrunner hides in shadow seams
Iron don't blink iron don't dream
Coffee's cold at 3 AM
Regulars order once again
Eggs over easy bacon crisp
Life served hot on chipped white dish
Iron don't blink when oculars glow
Summer dusk turns lethal slow
Netrunner hides in shadow seams
Iron don't blink iron don't dream
Sirens scream three blocks away
Drone lights cut the fading day
Pulse rounds stitch the brick and air
Nobody moves nobody cares
Oculars flicker target locked
Corporate ice about to crack
Upload finishes clean and quiet
Ghost in shell begins to riot
Iron don't blink when oculars glow
Summer dusk turns lethal slow
Netrunner hides in shadow seams
Iron don't blink iron don't dream
Dawn breaks pink on rusted rail
Netrunner gone left no trail
Bolts hold tight the cycle turns
Iron watches iron learns
Iron don't blink when oculars glow
Summer dusk turns lethal slow
Netrunner hides in shadow seams
Iron don't blink iron don't dream
Iron don't blink iron don't dream
Iron don't blink
Rust remembers every name
Same grill same grease same flame
