Track Insight / Lyrics
Old taxi wheels creak rhythmic
Paving stones beneath my worn
Soles, a compass searched through years
Navigating city's metal heart
Every fare a flicker of fate
In the dark of endless streets
I hold the iron staircase tight
A beacon for those who stray
Searching for a way to rise
Amidst the din and neon haze
Raindrops shimmer on these stairs
Reflecting neon lights ablaze
In the summer dusk, they shine
Guiding hands when souls are lost
Fading light upon my face
As the city's pulse beats fast
In the metal spine of this town
Where the worn find a place to turn around
Oh, neon puddles on the concrete pace
Lipstick marks on cigarette stained faces
Grandfather clocks tick solemn time
While I keep watch, wrought iron chime
In the city's metal spine, I stay
A steadfast guardian, night and day
Chasing ghosts, I hold the line
Metal spine, city's sacred shrine
Through alleyways and side streets I roam
Seek and find the weary, the worn
On foot, by heart, they make their way
To the fire escape, I lead the stray
Neon signs flicker like a dance
Cacophony in a concrete trance
Each story a thread in the weave
Of lives entwined in the city's leave
In the metal spine of this town
Where shadows cast long after sunset's gown
Raindrops shimmer on these stairs
Reflecting neon lights ablaze
In the summer dusk, they shine
Guiding hands when souls are lost
Fading light upon my face
As the city's pulse beats fast
In the metal spine of this town
Where the worn find a place to turn around
Oh, neon puddles on the concrete pace
Lipstick marks on cigarette stained faces
Grandfather clocks tick solemn time
While I keep watch, wrought iron chime
In the city's metal spine, I stay
A steadfast guardian, night and day
Chasing ghosts, I hold the line
Metal spine, city's sacred shrine
Distant sirens cut the night
As the last fare disappears from sight
Slowly I descend the iron staircase
Into the city's pulsating heart
Metal spine, eternal home
Beating strong, where I belong
