Track Insight / Lyrics
She sets up shop on the cracked yellow tile
Fluorescent flicker runs a jagged mile
Copper tape wraps the edges sharp and clean
Solder smoke curls where the platform leans
[Pre-
Iron tip bites where the glass pieces meet
Flux burns bright in the tunnel heat
Humming low beneath the train roar sound
Feet planted firm on the dirty ground
Lead lines hum in the deep dark down
Cutting the color, wearing a crown
Cold steel rail, just a soldered seam
Catching the light in a concrete dream
Regular Joe at the counter would say
Welding light is a hell of a way
To spend the night when the trains don't run
She builds a window for no rising sun
[Pre-
Iron tip bites where the glass pieces meet
Flux burns bright in the tunnel heat
Humming low beneath the train roar sound
Feet planted firm on the dirty ground
Lead lines hum in the deep dark down
Cutting the color, wearing a crown
Cold steel rail, just a soldered seam
Catching the light in a concrete dream
Blue shard cuts the air like a knife blade thin
Red piece catches the rush coming in
Green falls soft where the quiet lay
Yellow holds the gray away
My grill marks steak, she scores the glass
Two night shifts watching the moments pass
But her frame holds something I can't define
A steady hand on a copper line
Lead lines hum in the deep dark down
Cutting the color, wearing a crown
Cold steel rail, just a soldered seam
Catching the light in a concrete dream
Train rolls in with a screech and a shake
Artist packs up for the morning break
Wipes the flux off her calloused thumb
Humming still when the morning comes
Lead lines hum in the deep dark down
Cutting the color, wearing a crown
Cold steel rail, just a soldered seam
Catching the light in a concrete dream
Lead lines hum, yeah the lead lines hum
Copper veins in the tunnel gloom
