Track Insight / Lyrics
Grill smoke curls through fluorescent dawn
Regulars order the same old bacon
Ferris wheel sits frozen on the lawn
Autumn leaves choke every ride we're takin'
Roll twenty-four, half-exposed and waiting
Shutter clicked once on a broken carousel
Silver halide holds what the season's rating
Roll twenty-four, a story no one will tell
Coffee stains the counter map of routes
I found it lodged in the bumper car seat
Thirty-six frames of forgotten doubts
One blank roll for the funhouse cheat
Carousel horses peel paint like sunburn
Ticket booth gapes with a shattered lens
Light leaks through where the kissers yearn
Roll twenty-four knows where the summer went
Roll twenty-four, half-exposed and waiting
Shutter clicked once on a broken carousel
Silver halide holds what the season's rating
Roll twenty-four, a story no one will tell
Fixer bath smells like the grill at midnight
Agitate slow, watch the shadows rise
A girl in polka dots, caught in mid-flight
Ferris wheel gondola, empty skies
Bell dings sharp, the lunch rush hits the floor
I pocket the canister, wipe my hands
Fairground relics don't haunt this diner door
Just eggs and bacon on white ceramic lands
Roll twenty-four, half-exposed and waiting
Shutter clicked once on a broken carousel
Silver halide holds what the season's rating
Roll twenty-four, a story no one will tell
Roll twenty-four, a story no one will tell
Film advance winds tight, spring let go
