Track Insight / Lyrics

Wiped the counter eggs over easy Regular Joe asks for extra greasy Rain taps the window washes the street Boots by the back door caked in the concrete Found it leaning gainst the rusted shed wall Folded tight never meant to fall Blue and red veins of a sleeping town Old ink where the lines run down Oh paper lines on a backyard fence Holding on to a borrowed sense Of stations closed and trains gone by Underneath a grey November sky We trace the routes with greasy thumbs Waiting for the morning to come Hammer rests on the splintered bench Smell of oil and a monkey wrench You stir the pot with a wooden spoon Humming along to the afternoon Eighty two was a good year for dreams Or so it says in the folded seams Lexington Union Broad Street names Burned off the edges by winter rain Oh paper lines on a backyard fence Holding on to a borrowed sense Of stations closed and trains gone by Underneath a grey November sky We trace the routes with greasy thumbs Waiting for the morning to come Kids on the corner sell discount smokes Laughing at all the same old jokes I fold the map like a napkin square Tuck it deep in the pocket there Steel guitar cries a lonesome sound Upright bass walks the walking down Harmonica breathes a dusty tune Beneath the rising harvest moon Oh paper lines on a backyard fence Holding on to a borrowed sense Of stations closed and trains gone by Underneath a grey November sky We trace the routes with greasy thumbs Waiting for the morning to come Sun hits the chrome on the coffee urn Another shift another turn The map stays put where the weeds grow tall A relic of a city that won't call Oh paper lines on a backyard fence Holding on to a borrowed sense Of stations closed and trains gone by Underneath a grey November sky We trace the routes with greasy thumbs Waiting for the morning to come Yeah waiting for the morning to come Coffee steam and radio static Map corners curling on the wood
