Track Insight / Lyrics

You wipe the griddle with a rag stained black Grease settles deep in every groove and crack The map behind the depot peels its skin Red lines bleed out where the rust wears thin [Pre- Rain taps the glass where the neon flickers Coffee swirls dark like the river shivers Stations vanish underneath your fingers Erased by time and grease that lingers This old map won't lead nowhere no more Just rust and paper on a depot floor You trace the stops that don't run no more Nineteen eighty-two won't knock on your door Eggs hit the pan with a satisfied hiss The Green Line crumbles to a powdered kiss Tokens fused to turnstiles stuck in place No train arrives to win this rusted race [Pre- Rain taps the glass where the neon flickers Coffee swirls dark like the river shivers Stations vanish underneath your fingers Erased by time and grease that lingers This old map won't lead nowhere no more Just rust and paper on a depot floor You trace the stops that don't run no more Nineteen eighty-two won't knock on your door Bacon curls crisp on the seasoned steel Orange Line rusts through enamel peel Transfer points blur to a brownish smear You've ridden these ghosts for twenty years The depot roof leaks on the ticket booth Pigeons nest in the broken tooth You order eggs over hold the toast The map don't care what you miss the most This old map won't lead nowhere no more Just rust and paper on a depot floor You trace the stops that don't run no more Nineteen eighty-two won't knock on your door Night manager locks up the silverware The Red Line's ghost haunts the empty air You fold your napkin wipe the counter clean The oldest map you've ever seen This old map won't lead nowhere no more Just rust and paper on a depot floor You trace the stops that don't run no more Nineteen eighty-two don't live here no more Coffee cools in a chipped ceramic cup The map breathes rust and you drink it up Fryer clicks off the kitchen goes quiet Nineteen eighty-two finally sleeps tonight
