Track Insight / Lyrics
I'm a bridge toll collector
Watching the freeways roll by
Catching interstate dreams
As they speed across the sky
When the sun bleeds into the bayou
Painting the cypress bold
Gathering up the day's departures
Into the endless, winding road
Oh, the neon pulps gather fast
Streets alive with glistening cast
Freight trains rumble, engines list
Whispers of the places missed
Cars glow in the fading light
Refracted through the Spanish moss
The bridge shakes beneath every weight
As the road unwinds from my toll booth post
When the sun sinks below the trees
Bathing us in warm, ember breeze
No more speeding, no more whining ceased
Only the river's lazy reeds
Oh, the neon pulps gather fast
Streets alive with glistening cast
Freight trains rumble, engines list
Whispers of the places missed
As neon hues bleed into twilight
Streetlights flicker, casting shadows bright
Reflecting off the churning bayou's light
I let the world disappear tonight
Oh, the neon pulps gather fast
Streets alive with glistening cast
Freight trains rumble, engines list
Whispers of the places missed
Vinyl fade-out as strumming slows...
