You count bolts on Ferris steel
Ketchup stains your camera reel
Ticket stubs like fallen leaves
Diner sign is all you see
Cotton candy sugar dust
Vinyl booth holds broken trust
Viewfinder frames the peeling paint
One more shot before you faint
Midway Diner glowing red
Feeds the hunger in your head
Carousel horses sleep in rain
You shoot the sign and catch the train
Chain link fence cuts through your jeans
Faded map and broken dreams
Peeling horses guard the gate
Autumn makes the season late
Cotton candy sugar dust
Vinyl booth holds broken trust
Viewfinder frames the peeling paint
One more shot before you faint
Midway Diner glowing red
Feeds the hunger in your head
Carousel horses sleep in rain
You shoot the sign and catch the train
Bus ticket folded in your palm
Wurlitzer plays a quiet psalm
Flicker tube sputters then holds
Story that the night unfolds
Shutter speed catches what eyes miss
Neon hum and midnight kiss
No ghosts here just steel and light
You own the frame you own the night
Midway Diner glowing red
Feeds the hunger in your head
Carousel horses sleep in rain
You shoot the sign and catch the train
Engine coughs and wheels align
Diner sign stays in your mind
Develop later in the dark
Midway Diner leaves its mark
Midway Diner glowing red
Feeds the hunger in your head
Carousel horses sleep in rain
You shoot the sign and catch the train
Midway Diner glowing red
Feeds the hunger in your head
Shutter clicks the journey ends
Midway Diner stays your friend
