Track Insight / Lyrics

Carbon arcs spit white on brick Sprocket teeth click thick and quick Grease pencil marks the in-point frame Alley smells like burning flame Rain slicks the chrome on passing cabs Counting steps like tally tabs Footfall heavy footfall light Exposing frames through the night Focus pull on leather soles Grind the grain in blackened holes I run the reel I count the beat Wet pavement tapping dirty feet Silver screen on concrete wall Watch the shadows rise and fall Order up the night is done Projector fading with the sun Acetate curl in humid air Regulars sprawl in plastic chair Cyber-leg clicks steady time Like a metronome in grime Steam rises from the subway grate Developing the reel of fate Footfall heavy footfall light Exposing frames through the night Focus pull on leather soles Grind the grain in blackened holes I run the reel I count the beat Wet pavement tapping dirty feet Silver screen on concrete wall Watch the shadows rise and fall Order up the night is done Projector fading with the sun Ticket spindle spins a yarn Girl in red walks past the barn Pink sign hums overhead Reading lines the actors said No close ups here no dolly track Just the rhythm hitting back Rewind the take the gate is jammed Someone screamed but sound is clamped Scratch the emulsion bleed the red Wake up sleeping in the shed Splice the break and thread the gate Show must run it won't wait I run the reel I count the beat Wet pavement tapping dirty feet Silver screen on concrete wall Watch the shadows rise and fall Order up the night is done Projector fading with the sun Bulb blows out the screen goes white Last footfall fades into the night Clean the gate and oil the gear Shift is over coast is clear Coffee's cold but cup is full
