Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain on the windshield, wipers swing slow
Meter reads zero, got nowhere to go
Gold hunter case clicks in the damp night air
Footsteps tap rhythm on the pavement bare
[Pre-
Watch chain glints red at the traffic light
Counting the walkers through the midnight
Second hand jumps on the cracked enamel face
Time keeps its own quiet, steady pace
Silver hands count the steps in the alley
Midnight drizzle on the neon valley
Taxi waits silent, engine turned cold
Tales that the midnight has already told
Cherry blossoms fall on the Shibuya cross
Fare jumped the light, didn't count the cost
Watch ticks steady like a metronome
Counting the blocks till I'm heading home
Grandfather's gift, survived the war years
Scratched crystal face, holding frozen tears
Opens with a snap, a sharp metal sound
Keeps better time than the GPS found
Silver hands count the steps in the alley
Midnight drizzle on the neon valley
Taxi waits silent, engine turned cold
Tales that the midnight has already told
Neon reflects in the oil-slick stream
Passenger's ghost in a half-lit dream
Meter clicks over, the watch keeps its pace
Two different timers in the same dark space
Dawn cracks the sky over Shinjuku gate
Watch snaps shut tight, seals the night's fate
Shift ends quiet, keys on the brass ring
Freedom rides shotgun while the tires sing
Silver hands count the steps in the alley
Midnight drizzle on the neon valley
Taxi waits silent, engine turned cold
Tales that the midnight has already told
Silver hands count the steps in the alley
Midnight drizzle on the neon valley
Tick tock, tick tock, rolling home
Tokyo morning, no need to roam
