Track Insight / Lyrics

Camera strap cuts collarbone Third bus south, I rode alone Mechanic wipes his greased hands clean Turbo screams where books have been Nitrous in the stacks tonight Horsepower reads by dim blue light Torque wrench clicks on catalog cards Speed unbound by library guards Flash captures oil on concrete floor Dust jackets flutter, engines roar Dewey Decimal shakes loose now Cylinder heads take a bow Nitrous in the stacks tonight Horsepower reads by dim blue light Torque wrench clicks on catalog cards Speed unbound by library guards Viewfinder frames the fuel line glow Exhaust stains where scholars go Piston rings sing metallic hymns Silence splits on vinyl seams Nitrous in the stacks tonight Horsepower reads by dim blue light Torque wrench clicks on catalog cards Speed unbound by library guards Aperture wide, I catch the spray Cooling fans blow dust away Mechanic grins, pulls dipstick out Knowledge leaks from engine's mouth No overdue notices here Just combustion, raw and clear Shutter speed matches RPM History burns in gasoline Last frame winds, the motor cools Library breaks its rigid rules I pocket keys, climb stairs to street Where buses run on diesel beat Nitrous in the stacks tonight Horsepower reads by dim blue light Torque wrench clicks on catalog cards Speed unbound by library guards Nitrous in the stacks tonight We burn the silence, bold and bright Shutter clicks, engine turns Basement air, gasoline burns Nitrous in the stacks
