Track Insight / Lyrics
My cab smells like diesel rain
Wipers swipe the windshield pane
Radio spits static names
No passenger rides home again
[Pre-
White wings fold on guardrail steel
Geiger clicks a steady peal
Mist hangs low on concrete heel
Bridge holds secrets it won't heal
Owl watches where the river bends
Clicks mark time on dead men's ground
No fare collected, journey ends
Silence hums a heavy sound
Pellets drop on asphalt gray
Eyes like amber searchlights sweep
Radiation walks the highway
Cold wind sings the dead to sleep
[Pre-
Meter runs with no one inside
Needle jumps at phantom clicks
Steering wheel I grip real wide
Road dissolves in toxic mist
Owl watches where the river bends
Clicks mark time on dead men's ground
No fare collected, journey ends
Silence hums a heavy sound
Twenty years I drove this route
Know each pothole by its name
Now the zone keeps all doors shut
Fame don't matter, just the same
Headlights cut the whiteout wall
Talons grip the vibrating rail
No dispatch calls, no fare at all
Just the clicking, pale and frail
Owl watches where the river bends
Clicks mark time on dead men's ground
No fare collected, journey ends
Silence hums a heavy sound
Morning light on poisoned stream
Taxi sits a metal dream
Geiger counter keeps its beat
Driver walks on empty street
Owl watches where the river bends
Clicks mark time on dead men's ground
No fare collected, journey ends
Silence hums a heavy sound
Meter stops at zero fare
Dust settles on the driver's chair
