Track Insight / Lyrics
Order tickets flutter like dead moths
Coffee rings stain the laminate tops
Regular Joe wants his eggs runny
I flip them fast, nothing funny
Rusty freight car prowls the backyard weeds
Searchlight cutting through the tangled feeds
Workshop shadows swallow up the sound
Iron hunger dragging metal ground
Fryer grease pops like a drum machine
Short order rhythm, brutal, clean
Mabel laughs at my burnt toast joke
I wink back through the cigarette smoke
Rusty freight car prowls the backyard weeds
Searchlight cutting through the tangled feeds
Workshop shadows swallow up the sound
Iron hunger dragging metal ground
Boxcar wheels scream on forgotten track
Weeds recoil, they don't bite back
Searching for something lost in steel
Grinding gears that never heal
Rusty freight car prowls the backyard weeds
Searchlight cutting through the tangled feeds
Workshop shadows swallow up the sound
Iron hunger dragging metal ground
Midnight coffee, black and bitter
Freight car groans, a heavy glitter
Two worlds grinding, same cold night
Cook and iron, searching light
Dawn cracks pink across the diner glass
Freight car stops, lets the moment pass
I wipe the grill, the shift is done
Another night, another run
Rusty freight car prowls the backyard weeds
Searchlight cutting through the tangled feeds
Workshop shadows swallow up the sound
Iron hunger dragging metal ground
Iron hunger, iron hunger, iron hunger
Grind the beans. Fire the flat top.
Night shift humming. Steel loop stops.
