Track Insight / Lyrics
Cold brass glints in the gray
Rolling where the tracks stray
Past the rusted iron pile
Stretching for a lonely mile
The fog rolls thick like heavy cream
Slipping through a diesel dream
Waiting for a click or snap
Caught inside a metal trap
Oh, a key with no door to find
Leaving every lock behind
Tumbling down the gravel line
Looking for a hidden sign
Sooty wind kicks up a spray
Turning all the silver gray
Lying by a sleeper beam
Floating in a sulfur stream
The fog rolls thick like heavy cream
Slipping through a diesel dream
Waiting for a click or snap
Caught inside a metal trap
Oh, a key with no door to find
Leaving every lock behind
Tumbling down the gravel line
Looking for a hidden sign
No hand comes to pick it up
Dry as an empty coffee cup
Jagged edges sharp and clean
Smallest thing you've ever seen
Oh, a key with no door to find
Leaving every lock behind
Tumbling down the gravel line
Looking for a hidden sign
Steel cars groan on a rusted bend
Where the switch tracks reach an end
Casting off a heavy load
Walking down a ghosty road
Oh, a key with no door to find
Leaving every lock behind
Tumbling down the gravel line
Looking for a hidden sign
Oil drips on a concrete slab
Colored like a purple scab
Brass is turning dull and old
Story that was never told
Oh, a key with no door to find
Leaving every lock behind
Tumbling down the gravel line
Looking for a hidden sign
Just a piece of scrap.
Keep the change.
