Track Insight / Lyrics
You wipe grease on sandstone rock
Tach needle climbs past twelve o'clock
Nitrous hisses, sharp and clean
Mesa shakes the whole machine
Turn the wrench, let thunder wake
Canyon walls begin to shake
Taxi meter reads the cost
Every mile is wisdom lost
Turn the wrench, let thunder wake
Dawn paints shadows, long and thin
Piston rings sing violin
Fuel lines pulse like desert veins
No passenger recalls the names
Turn the wrench, let thunder wake
Canyon walls begin to shake
Taxi meter reads the cost
Every mile is wisdom lost
Turn the wrench, let thunder wake
Flute trills where the red dust flies
Violin cuts through cloudless skies
Cello hums the torque you chase
Time and distance, time and space
Turn the wrench, let thunder wake
Canyon walls begin to shake
Taxi meter reads the cost
Every mile is wisdom lost
Turn the wrench, let thunder wake
Rain never falls on this high ground
But oil rainbows stain the brown
Fare's paid in horsepower and sweat
No receipt for memories yet
Sun cuts sharp on intake chrome
You tune the beast to call it home
Desert wind steals exhaust song
Six thousand rpm, loud and long
Turn the wrench, let thunder wake
Canyon walls begin to shake
Taxi meter reads the cost
Every mile is wisdom lost
Turn the wrench, let thunder wake
Turn the wrench, let thunder wake
Fiddle fades on desert floor
Engine rests, but wants much more
