Cold steel floors and a heavy grey hum
Waiting for the signal to come
Counting bolts on a titanium wall
Watching for a long distance call
Static noise in a hollow bay
Burning through the end of the day
Keep the beam on the velvet black
Bring the lonely wanderers back
Copper wires and a flickering screen
The strangest sight that I have ever seen
Sipping coffee from a dented tin cup
Waiting for the orbit to wind up
Static noise in a hollow bay
Burning through the end of the day
Keep the beam on the velvet black
Bring the lonely wanderers back
Oil stains on a white canvas floor
I can hear the hydraulic door
Screwing tight every rusted old gear
Fighting off a mechanical fear
Static noise in a hollow bay
Burning through the end of the day
Keep the beam on the velvet black
Bring the lonely wanderers back
Voltage spikes in a sudden red flash
Metal plates with a thunderous crash
Tear the map and the coordinate chart
Shatter every piece of the part
Clocking hours in a vacuum of gold
Doing what the manual told
Sanding down every jagged sharp edge
Standing on a narrow steel ledge
Static noise in a hollow bay
Burning through the end of the day
Keep the beam on the velvet black
Bring the lonely wanderers back
Lock the door.
Cut the light.
Hold the line.
Goodnight.
