Track Insight / Lyrics
Particles float on the beam tonight
Kettle screams a high thin white
Quarter dropped in the slot so tight
Picture shows a quiet fight
[Pre-
Steam rises up like exhaust fumes
Fogging up the glass perfume
Driver watches through the rain
Waiting for the fare to claim
Silver screen steam on the wall
Projector answers the kettle call
Frames flicker fast on the tile
Running reels by the kitchen dial
Silver screen steam, we see it all
Silver screen steam, hear the meter fall
Porcelain glow in the projector gate
Shadows stretch on a breakfast plate
Engine hums in the kitchen tower
Counting miles by the steamy hour
[Pre-
Steam rises up like exhaust fumes
Fogging up the glass perfume
Driver watches through the rain
Waiting for the fare to claim
Silver screen steam on the wall
Projector answers the kettle call
Frames flicker fast on the tile
Running reels by the kitchen dial
Silver screen steam, we see it all
Silver screen steam, hear the meter fall
Film burns out at the corner seat
Toast pops up, a sudden beat
No tip left on the saucer tray
Light fades out, end of the day
Reel spins loose on the wooden spoon
Morning rush is coming soon
Shutter clicks the final frame
Taxi logs the driver's name
Lens caps on, the shift is done
Kettle clicks, the boiling won
Taxi rests in the garage deep
Projector dreams while the city sleeps
Yeah, drive it home!
Turn the reel!
Silver screen steam on the wall
Projector answers the kettle call
Frames flicker fast on the tile
Running reels by the kitchen dial
Silver screen steam, we see it all
Meter stops, the light recalls
Light cuts out, fare is paid
Darkness drives the final grade
