Track Insight / Lyrics
Flattop sizzles, bacon grease pops loud
Night shift regulars lost in cigarette cloud
Downstairs on the platform, a typewriter sits
Metal keys clicking, spitting out split bits
Platform keys click-clack, city heart keeps beat
Paper feeds stories to the morning street
Each strike a passenger boarding the unknown
Letters form destinations, ink and toner shown
Token booth clerk nods at the rhythmic sound
Turnstile clicks slow, last train heading downtown
Ribbon wears thin, carbon copies pile
Manuscript grows by the mile after mile
Platform keys click-clack, city heart keeps beat
Paper feeds stories to the morning street
Each strike a passenger boarding the unknown
Letters form destinations, ink and toner shown
Hash browns crisp, eggs flip in seasoned pan
Bell dings order up, catch it if you can
Typewriter pauses, carriage returns with grace
Writer sips coffee, finds a familiar place
Platform keys click-clack, city heart keeps beat
Paper feeds stories to the morning street
Each strike a passenger boarding the unknown
Letters form destinations, ink and toner shown
Dawn cracks windows, fluorescent buzzes fade
Final chapter typed, debt of night repaid
Manuscript tucked in a worn leather case
City wakes up to the writer's embrace
Platform keys click-clack, city heart keeps beat
Paper feeds stories to the morning street
Each strike a passenger boarding the unknown
Letters form destinations, ink and toner shown
Click-clack, click-clack, morning reads the page
New chapter starts on the turning stage
Order up, sunshine, fresh off the press
Typewriter rests, but the story stays blessed
