Track Insight / Lyrics
You walk the line in rubber boots
Deep in the soil, deep in the roots
The salt is dry upon your skin
Where the midnight hour begins.
One step, two step, blue and gold
A story that the pavement told
Counting paces, counting slow
Where the electric colors glow.
The motel sign is humming loud
A lonely light above the crowd
You carry nets and heavy gear
The morning tide is drawing near.
The asphalt smells of old gasoline
The coldest sight you have ever seen
Your shadow stretches long and thin
While the humming wires start to spin.
One step, two step, blue and gold
A story that the pavement told
Counting paces, counting slow
Where the electric colors glow.
Left foot, right foot, keep the beat
Salty air and city heat
The road is long, the night is wide
Nowhere left for you to hide.
You see the cars in a silver row
Waiting for the light to go
A fisherman in a concrete sea
Counting steps to set him free.
One step, two step, blue and gold
A story that the pavement told
Counting paces, counting slow
Where the electric colors glow.
Just count the steps. Blue and gold. Count them slow.
Blue and gold.
