Track Insight / Lyrics
Scratched glass holds a dying bubble
Brass ribs ache from jacket trouble
Oil remembers chapel tuning
Altos hummed at morning's blooming
North don't work in Neon City
Wires pull the needle pretty
Mag-lev hums below the pavement
True north drowned in wire arrangement
Courier's thumb wears brass down smooth
Rain slicks leather, no sooth
Package pulses, heavy, hot
Coordinates forgot, forgot
North don't work in Neon City
Wires pull the needle pretty
Mag-lev hums below the pavement
True north drowned in wire arrangement
Calibrated on mountain stone
Where magnet's voice sang clean, sang lone
No server racks, no chromed vein
Just earth's slow beat, no electric pain
Spinning now in gutter hymn
Chrome cathedral, dying dim
Needle prays for pole star's kiss
Finds only static, nothing bliss
Courier stops beneath a sign
Flicker pink, Divine Design
Taps the glass, breath clouds the air
Hums a prayer the city hear
North don't work in Neon City
Wires pull the needle pretty
Mag-lev hums below the pavement
True north drowned in wire arrangement
Dawn cracks purple, bruised and thin
Courier moves, lets needle spin
North is where the next beat falls
North is where the courier calls
North don't work in Neon City
Wires pull the needle pretty
Mag-lev hums below the pavement
True north drowned in wire arrangement
North is where the blood keeps time
North is where the climb keeps time
Brass coughs. The bubble breathes.
Needle settles. Courier leaves.
