Track Insight / Lyrics

Copper rooster perched on rusted iron Snow packs deep in cobblestone seams Wind cuts sharp through brick canyon walls He don't spin for no midnight breeze North wind blows but he stays put Winter teeth can't bite his crown Frozen beak points true and steady Waiting for the thaw to come Eggs hit pan in grease ballet Regulars laugh at corner booth Steam fogs up the plate glass window Rooster watches through the gloom North wind blows but he stays put Winter teeth can't bite his crown Frozen beak points true and steady Waiting for the thaw to come Salt crust builds on verdigris wings Ice beads form on tail feathers Alley cats sleep near dumpster heat He don't flinch at freezing weather North wind blows but he stays put Winter teeth can't bite his crown Frozen beak points true and steady Waiting for the thaw to come Dawn cracks pale through chimney stacks Short order cooks flip final plates Rooster catches first light glint Copper chest begins to wake Seasons turn on pivot pins Metal remembers every storm Patient as a line cook's grin He'll ride the spring when winds reform April rain washes winter grime Patina shines like new penny Rooster spins on oiled axis Points the way for warming winds North wind blows but he stays put Winter teeth can't bite his crown Frozen beak points true and steady Spring arrives on copper wings Coffee pours in chipped white cups Another night shift ends
