Rain taps the glass where lovers parked
Screen went dark before the climax sparked
I've hauled drunks and dreamers both
Know every pothole every oath
Sign don't sleep I hold the corner down
Red glow bleeds on cracked and holy ground
Transformer sings a low-down lullaby
Watch the night shift fade and die
Speaker posts rust in tall grass now
Kids don't sneak in don't make a vow
Fare's collected doors shut tight
Morning comes without a light
Sign don't sleep I hold the corner down
Red glow bleeds on cracked and holy ground
Transformer sings a low-down lullaby
Watch the night shift fade and die
Burger grease and perfume scent
Stuck in vinyl permanent
Radio played the same three songs
While the meter ticked along
Sign don't sleep I hold the corner down
Red glow bleeds on cracked and holy ground
Transformer sings a low-down lullaby
Watch the night shift fade and die
Weeds push through the asphalt seams
Broken projectors broken beams
I've seen fists fly and lips meet
Every fare pays incomplete
No more tires crunch on gravel bed
Just the hum inside my head
But I'll buzz till the filament breaks
For the lonely miles it takes
Dawn paints the tubes a pale gray white
Another shift survives the night
Engine turns I flicker steady still
Watching over the empty hill
Sign don't sleep I hold the corner down
Red glow bleeds on cracked and holy ground
Transformer sings a low-down lullaby
Watch the night shift fade and die
Sign don't sleep yeah I hold it down
Red glass witness dawn breaks slow
Meter drops nowhere left to go
