Track Insight / Lyrics
Solder smoke curls through the grate
Multimeter reads zero-eight
Vector ghosts on phosphor screens
Teen fingers know these machines
Quarter drops in plastic throat
Cabinet begins to float
Raster bloom in emerald green
Best repair I've ever seen
Line check on the arcade heart
Trace the wire, play the part
Dial tone hums in cathode dark
Fix the break, restart the start
Line check on the arcade heart
Claw hammer banjo pulls the reel
Cello weeps on broken steel
Martin guitar counts the beat
Foot stomp shakes the concrete seat
Quarter drops in plastic throat
Cabinet begins to float
Raster bloom in emerald green
Best repair I've ever seen
Line check on the arcade heart
Trace the wire, play the part
Dial tone hums in cathode dark
Fix the break, restart the start
Line check on the arcade heart
Camera catches splice and joint
Shutter clicks on friction point
Bus wires bundled, tagged, and tied
No more static, none to hide
Vector lines draw clean and true
Every cabinet born anew
Solder flows like river gold
Stories that the wires told
No more busy, no more dead
Just the game ahead, ahead
Line check on the arcade heart
Trace the wire, play the part
Dial tone hums in cathode dark
Fix the break, restart the start
Line check on the arcade heart
Pack the tools in canvas bag
Marquee letters grab the tag
Boot heels strike the morning street
Copper dust on worn-out feet
Line check on the arcade heart
Trace the wire, play the part
Dial tone hums in cathode dark
Fix the break, restart the start
Line check on the arcade heart
Strong and clear, the signal sings
Teen runaway fixes things
Camera clicks, the reel runs out
Signal clean, no shadow doubt
