Track Insight / Lyrics
You slide into vinyl, coffee steam curls
Silver disc catches neon, red and blue swirls
Needle trembles, points where the highway ends
Your thumb traces ridges, waits for the bends
Ketchup bottle catches the compass face
Pocket north catches diner booth glow
Silver drinks the yellow light below
No map matters when you're moving slow
Shutter clicks, the night lets go
Morning breaks where you decide to go
The needle's home is wherever you go
Film wind clicks between your cold fingers
Greyhound stubs linger like paper slivers
Waitress pours coffee, steam climbing higher
Bacon curls crisp on the grill's thin wire
Flash pops, the booth holds its breath a beat
Silver disc catches ketchup bottle red
Reflects the clock where hours go to bed
You trace the route from Tucson to this town
Each mile a negative, lost then found
Needle shakes but never points to home
Pocket north catches diner booth glow
Silver drinks the yellow light below
No map matters when you're moving slow
Shutter clicks, the night lets go
Morning breaks where you decide to go
The needle's home is wherever you go
The cook flips hash browns, rhythm in the pan
You weigh the miles against who you began
Shutter snaps the compass, silver in the steam
A pocket map for a wandering dream
North is wherever the lens finds true
South is the rearview fading from view
Bill paid, you slide out, boots hit the floor
Compass pocketed, don't need it no more
Camera strap crosses your chest like a vow
Greyhound hisses, breathing steam right now
You board, the needle settles on the dash
North is the road beneath the exhaust flash
Pocket north catches diner booth glow
Silver drinks the yellow light below
No map matters when you're moving slow
Shutter clicks, the night lets go
Morning
