Track Insight / Lyrics
Laminated corners frayed and blue
Routes I memorized in sister's room
Lexington local pulls on through
Three AM silence, no perfume
Map of Eighty-Two, folded tight
Guides me through the electric night
Colors bleed in sodium light
Map of Eighty-Two, my only guide
Token drops, the turnstile sings
Graffiti alphabet on steel beams
Shutter snaps the quiet things
Glass reflections in my dreams
Map of Eighty-Two, folded tight
Guides me through the electric night
Colors bleed in sodium light
Map of Eighty-Two, my only guide
Conductor yawns, checks his wristwatch face
Paper schedule, leather case
Empty bench, a borrowed space
City sleeps in second place
Map of Eighty-Two, folded tight
Guides me through the electric night
Colors bleed in sodium light
Map of Eighty-Two, my only guide
Flash cube pops, a sudden star
Platform tiles reflect the car
Wonder where the N train goes so far
Past the bridge and Brooklyn bar
No destination printed clear
Just a need to disappear
Shutter speed kills the fear
One more stop, I'm almost here
Morning papers hit the track
Commuters flow in gray and black
Map goes zippered in my pack
Forward motion, no looking back
Map of Eighty-Two, folded tight
Guides me through the electric night
Colors bleed in sodium light
Map of Eighty-Two, my only guide
Map of Eighty-Two, ride the tide
Map of Eighty-Two, by my side
Camera clicks, the platform clears
Eighty-Two survives the years
