Track Insight / Lyrics
Bus ticket stub burns pocket deep
Camera strap cuts shoulder raw
Grease slick vinyl, coffee cheap
Sign flickers pink through foggy thaw
Neon waits where trains don't run
Pink glow hums on rusted steel
Night shift cook flips bacon, done
Diner heart beats loose and real
Film grain catches steam rise up
Counter stool holds denim weight
Fork scrapes plate, a coffee cup
Sign buzzes through the yard's cold gate
Neon waits where trains don't run
Pink glow hums on rusted steel
Night shift cook flips bacon, done
Diner heart beats loose and real
Lens cap off, I frame the scene
Condensation beads on glass
Fog horns moan, low and mean
Sign paints pink on broken grass
Neon waits where trains don't run
Pink glow hums on rusted steel
Night shift cook flips bacon, done
Diner heart beats loose and real
Waitress slides a pie slice over
Cherry filling, crust gold-brown
Fog swallows boxcar, covers clover
Sign stays lit when sun goes down
Shutter winds, advance the frame
Thirty-six exposures left
Diner glow, the only name
Fog can't steal, can't kill, can't theft
Morning cracks the yard apart
Sign clicks off, the pink retreats
Camera heavy, full of heart
Boots hit gravel, railroad streets
Neon waits where trains don't run
Pink glow hums on rusted steel
Night shift cook flips bacon, done
Diner heart beats loose and real
Neon waits, the last one standing
Pink glow hums while fog is landing
Shutter clicks. Frame ends. Sign breathing.
