Track Insight / Lyrics
I wind the springs in a gold casing.
The seconds fly and the clock is racing.
You sweep the lot where the gravel stays.
The silver screen is a ghostly haze.
Oh, we are watching the midnight screen.
The strangest show that I've ever seen.
Turn up the dial and let it spin.
This is where the late night movies begin.
I fix the gears with a steady hand.
You watch the cars in a desert land.
The popcorn machine is a rusted shell.
A quiet story that we both tell.
Oh, we are watching the midnight screen.
The strangest show that I've ever seen.
Turn up the dial and let it spin.
This is where the late night movies begin.
I count the ticks of a copper wheel.
The cold metal is the only feel.
You paint the lines on the parking lot.
The only magic that this town got.
Oh, we are watching the midnight screen.
The strangest show that I've ever seen.
Turn up the dial and let it spin.
This is where the late night movies begin.
The projector hums a heavy beat.
We feel the rhythm in the summer heat.
No one is here but the wind and the wire.
Lighting the dark like a steady fire.
I set the chime for a quarter past.
A little moment that we make last.
You lock the gate with a heavy key.
Looking at you and you look at me.
Oh, we are watching the midnight screen.
The strangest show that I've ever seen.
Turn up the dial and let it spin.
This is where the late night movies begin.
Keep it ticking, keep it bright.
Just a movie for the night.
Midnight screen.
Midnight screen.
