Track Insight / Lyrics

Grill marks fade on the flat top steel Coffee rings stain the laminated menu Meter clicks in his parked yellow cab Steam curls slow from his chipped white mug Wiper blades rest on cracked windshield glass Radio plays a low static hymn He watches eggs flip in bacon grease Night shift hums on a single breath Last fare sits where the neon dies Kettle sings its tin lullaby Two ghosts keeping the dawn at bay Coffee black as the highway gray Order pad rests in his calloused palm Tip jar heavy with copper and silver Regulars know his route by heart Third and Main to the hospital ward Wiper blades rest on cracked windshield glass Radio plays a low static hymn He watches eggs flip in bacon grease Night shift hums on a single breath Last fare sits where the neon dies Kettle sings its tin lullaby Two ghosts keeping the dawn at bay Coffee black as the highway gray Rheumatic knee cracks on cold tile floor Pocket watch ticks in his wool vest pocket Twenty years on the graveyard run Twenty more 'fore the pension comes Last fare sits where the neon dies Kettle sings its tin lullaby Two ghosts keeping the dawn at bay Coffee black as the highway gray Fry cook slides a plate of hash browns Extra crisp the way the driver likes No words needed between old friends Steam writes names on the fogged up glass Last fare sits where the neon dies Kettle sings its tin lullaby Two ghosts keeping the dawn at bay Coffee black as the highway gray Sunrise paints the chrome bumper gold Engine turns on the third rough cough He leaves two quarters on the Formica Kettle whistles the closing song Last fare sits where the neon dies Kettle sings its tin lullaby Two ghosts keeping the dawn at bay Coffee black as the highway gray Last fare rides where the morning breaks Kettle cools on the turned off flame Two ghosts living the night they made Coffee black as the highway gray Kettle screams on the back burner Vinyl stool holds the morning light
