Track Insight / Lyrics
Coat hangs heavy on the pump frame
Badge catches neon, calls a name
Salt air eats the chrome and brass
Engine ticks like breaking glass
Slow rust takes the night shift slow
Neon flickers, pulse and glow
We keep watch where highways cross
Light holds steady, counts the cost
Slow rust takes the night shift slow
Lamp room smells of kerosene
Logbook lists what winds have seen
Fresnel turns through black and white
Beam cuts deep through harbor night
Slow rust takes the night shift slow
Neon flickers, pulse and glow
We keep watch where highways cross
Light holds steady, counts the cost
Slow rust takes the night shift slow
Case file folded, corners torn
Witness gone before the dawn
Radio plays static hymns
Signal lost where highway dims
Slow rust takes the night shift slow
Neon flickers, pulse and glow
We keep watch where highways cross
Light holds steady, counts the cost
Slow rust takes the night shift slow
Tide pulls back, reveals the wreckage
Barnacles on steel and ravage
Paint peels off in curling strips
Time claims all the passing ships
Slow rust takes the night shift slow
Neon flickers, pulse and glow
We keep watch where highways cross
Light holds steady, counts the cost
Slow rust takes the night shift slow
Neon dies at dawn break slow
