Track Insight / Lyrics

I measure p H on oxidized steel Salicornia takes root in the wheel Spartina alterniflora drinks the spray Halophytes thrive where the gulls play Rust bloom rising on the freight car floor Iron oxide feeding something more Salt and time make a garden grow Where no botanist thought to go Xylem pulls the brine through flaking paint Phloem moves the sugar, faint but quaint Atriplex spreads her silver leaves wide Rooted deep where the tide resides Rust bloom rising on the freight car floor Iron oxide feeding something more Salt and time make a garden grow Where no botanist thought to go Wind prunes the canopy, natural shear I chant Latin to the atmosphere Chenopodium, hold fast, stand your ground Rhizosphere humming a saline sound Corrugated walls now hold the loam A boxcar terrarium, far from home Oxidation feeds the chlorophyll green The strangest habitat I've ever seen Morning dew condenses on the roof Distilled essence, saline proof I catalog each volunteer sprout Life finds a way to work it out Rust bloom rising on the freight car floor Iron oxide feeding something more Salt and time make a garden grow Where no botanist thought to go Harbor master calls it blight and decay I call it succession, nature's way Heavy metal locker, now a bed For the salt-tolerant, the tough, the red Rust bloom rising on the freight car floor Iron oxide feeding something more Salt and time make a garden grow Where no botanist thought to go Rust bloom rising, rust bloom rising Salinity reads optimal today My metal garden rides the wind away
