Track Insight / Lyrics
You hold the card with salt-stained thumbs
Corner bent where fingers numb
Neon glow bleeds through cheap card stock
Pink and blue against the dock
[Pre-
Rain slicks the lot where tires sang
Buick rests on springs that clang
You trace the light with weathered nail
Storm lamp logic, never fail
Neon postcard in your hand
Ghost of towns on borrowed land
Light keeps burning, lens turns slow
Keeper's eye sees through the show
Vending machine hums like buoy bell
Coins drop deep in metal well
Cigarette burns filter down
Sand and tar on scattered ground
[Pre-
Rain slicks the lot where tires sang
Buick rests on springs that clang
You trace the light with weathered nail
Storm lamp logic, never fail
Neon postcard in your hand
Ghost of towns on borrowed land
Light keeps burning, lens turns slow
Keeper's eye sees through the show
Key hangs crooked in the door
Salt crust flakes on wooden floor
Mattress springs remember weight
Moon pulls tide, pulls clean the slate
Neon postcard in your hand
Ghost of towns on borrowed land
Light keeps burning, lens turns slow
Keeper's eye sees through the show
Clerk asleep in plastic chair
Dreams of wheels and coastal air
Receipts curl in drawer like kelp
You pocket keys, you trust yourself
Neon postcard in your hand
Ghost of towns on borrowed land
Light keeps burning, lens turns slow
Keeper's eye sees through the show
Dawn breaks gray on windshield glass
Postcard fades in morning gas
Neon sputters, gutters out
Keeper's log records no doubt
Neon postcard in your hand
Ghost of towns on borrowed land
Light keeps burning, lens turns slow
Keeper's eye sees through the show
Neon postcard, neon postcard
Light keeps burning, lens turns slow
Piano hums the low tide in
Lamp clicks off, you ride the wind
