Track Insight / Lyrics

Kid folded hope from a takeout bag Threw it hard where the alley sags Wind caught the nose slow tail-drag Snagged on the fence rust-eaten flag Rain taps the wings like a short-order nag Neon bleeds red on the wet concrete Plane sits still in the gutter seat Paper folds turn orange fatigue No takeoff now no retreat Cook watches deep from the counter beat Rusty wings don't fly no more Rain writes the score on alley floor Rusty wings the kid's long gone Diner stays lit till break of dawn Rusty wings just rust and song Grease pops loud on the flat-top steel Regulars laugh yeah the jokes are real Nobody asks where the paper went Just sip their joe pay the daily rent Plane rots slow where the shadows blend Rusty wings don't fly no more Rain writes the score on alley floor Rusty wings the kid's long gone Diner stays lit till break of dawn Rusty wings just rust and song Fold by fold the memory fails Ink runs blue on the postal trails Cook flips eggs with a wrist so steady Dreams don't die they just get heavy Morning shift comes the alley clears Street sweeper takes what the night reveres Metal skeleton in the gutter pan Cook wipes the counter starts the plan Another bird folded by calloused hand New kid laughs with a fresh white sheet Throws it hard down the same dark street Wind catches nose does a slow tail-drag Snags on the fence same rust-eaten flag Cycle spins on a griddle gag Rusty wings don't fly no more Rain writes the score on alley floor Rusty wings the kid's long gone Diner stays lit till break of dawn Rusty wings just rust and song Grind the beans pour the black Rusty wings don't look back
