Track Insight / Lyrics
Terminal lights flicker lone
Pier's desolate concourse
Chasing time to move along
These cold rails bend no bone
Face pressed to enamel night
Ghost train, phantom light
Disappearing uphill fast
From this abandoned cast
[Pre-
Adrift on opposing tracks, we pass
Carriages blurred, far off mist
Unbearable truths we'll never clutch
Concealed by whistling mist
Leap of faith in the dark of night
Beneath a beacon's fading light
To the phantom northbound ride
Through shadows where dreams collide
[Build-
Kissing the dawn's rising edge
Your whispered final pledge
In the city's endless sprawl
I'm left to stand and stall
TB-303 bassline rips the air
Squelching over hi-hat's staccato glare
Laundry lines like frozen snakes
Swinging to the pulsing breaks
Counting stations out of sight
Echoes of your fading light
Far-off whistle pierces chill
The night's long, lonely still
Face pressed to enamel night
Ghost train, phantom light Disappearing uphill fast
From this abandoned cast
Leap of faith in the dark of night
Beneath a beacon's fading light
To the phantom northbound ride
Through shadows where dreams collide
Time's relentless, spurting stream
Drowns the ache that won't subside
A silver compass spins in vain
As distance slowly shrinks the pain
Sub-bass thunders in the chest
Vocal chops cry out the rest
TB-303 frenzy reaches sky
Laundry lines like frozen snakes
Swinging to the pulsing breaks
Face pressed to enamel night
Ghost train, phantom light Vanishing uphill fast
To new horizons cast.
