Track Insight / Lyrics
Fryer pops its grease song loud
Coffee rings stain the counter proud
Order tickets flutter white
Tugboat fades in failing light
Slow rust eats the hull below
Harbor waters rise and go
Paint peels back like sunburned skin
Night shift watches night begin
Diesel scent rides morning air
Gulls pick scraps from decks laid bare
Propeller stuck in mud and time
No more rhythm, reason, rhyme
Slow rust eats the hull below
Harbor waters rise and go
Paint peels back like sunburned skin
Night shift watches night begin
Regulars know the schedule well
Eggs over easy, stories tell
Boat ain't moved since eighty-nine
Coffee steam draws a jagged line
Slow rust eats the hull below
Harbor waters rise and go
Paint peels back like sunburned skin
Night shift watches night begin
Chain link fence leans toward the shore
Padlock rusted, stuck once more
Children dare each other near
Whisper legends no one hears
My apron wears the same brown stains
Twenty years of bacon rains
But steel surrenders slower still
Bending to the harbor's will
Morning rush will drown the view
Hash browns golden, bacon too
But I'll catch that orange glow
Where the tugboat says hello
Slow rust eats the hull below
Harbor waters rise and go
Paint peels back like sunburned skin
Night shift watches night begin
Slow rust wins but so do we
Cooking through the mystery
Gravel crunches, shift goes home
Tugboat waits for dawn to come
