Track Insight / Lyrics
Rail ties creak, peeling paint
Lonely depot, no one's waiting
Ferries idle, far from the deck
My night shift's lonesome reflection
Then the station lights flicker on
A conductor's whistle, a distant dawn
My heart skips, the ride's begun
Gonna chug these tracks, leave this town
I'm on the move in the night
Rollin' on the rails, feelin' alive
Pulse of the train, rhythm in my blood
This locomotion's where I wanna be, yeah
Cities fade in the bone white light
Cities fade, but I don't care tonight
Just the hollow echoes of my name
Resonate in this rusty frame
Then the station lights flicker on
A conductor's whistle, a kiss of dawn
My heart skips, the ride's begun
Gonna chug these tracks, leave this town
I'm on the move in the night
Rollin' on the rails, feelin' alive
Pulse of the train, rhythm in my blood
This locomotion's where I wanna be, yeah
Whistle blows, steel on steel clash
Coast to coast, a restless dash
She speaks in iron, static, steam
My solace, in her rhythmic dream
I'm on the move in the night
Rollin' on the rails, feelin' alive
Pulse of the train, rhythm in my blood
This locomotion's where I wanna be
Fading shore, dimming light
Through the night, the locomotion takes flight
