Track Insight / Lyrics
Peeling horses, frozen mid-rear
Cotton candy rusted gear
Ticket booth leans, wood turned gray
Midway silence wins the day
Bow meets string, cold steel sings
Memory wakes on broken wings
Taxi waits, the fare is paid
Watch the show the decay made
Rust and rosin, dust and bone
Music claims what time owns
Ferris wheel won't turn no more
But the fiddle owns this shore
Rust and rosin, harsh and sweet
Autumn plays a bitter beat
Rollercoaster tracks eat sky
No one screams, no reason why
Bumper cars sit, bumpers flat
Dreams parked tight in habitat
Puddles mirror fractured lights
Violin owns autumn nights
Bow meets string, cold steel sings
Memory wakes on broken wings
Taxi waits, the fare is paid
Watch the show the decay made
Rust and rosin, dust and bone
Music claims what time owns
Ferris wheel won't turn no more
But the fiddle owns this shore
Rust and rosin, harsh and sweet
Autumn plays a bitter beat
Funhouse mirrors cracked and blind
Reflect the player, undefined
Scales climb high, then fall like leaves
No one stays, no one believes
Harmonica breathes low and deep
While the park puts itself to sleep
Rust and rosin, dust and bone
Music claims what time owns
Ferris wheel won't turn no more
But the fiddle owns this shore
Rust and rosin, harsh and sweet
Autumn plays a bitter beat
Organ wheezes, Hammond warm
Fills the air before the storm
Slide guitar cries, bottleneck steel
Makes the rusted structure heal
Driver lights a cigarette
Watches shadows dance and set
Rust and rosin, dust and bone
Music claims what time owns
Ferris wheel won't turn no more
But the fiddle owns this shore
Rust and rosin, harsh and sweet
Autumn plays a bitter beat
Final bow, the case snaps shut
Violin packed, the park stays put
Meter clicks, I pull away
Nothing left for me to say
Road unwinds, the city calls
Even ruins have their walls
Rust and rosin, dust and bone
Music claims what time owns
Ferris wheel won't turn no more
But the fiddle owns this shore
Rust and rosin, harsh and sweet
Autumn plays a bitter beat
Rust and rosin, dust and bone
Music claims what time owns
Tail lights fade on rusted wire
Song stays burning in the fire
