Track Insight / Lyrics
Fluorescent tubes flicker above the pump stand
You cut blue glass with a steady hand
Solder smoke curls in the midnight air
My apron stains match the copper there
[Pre-
Wrench turns slow on a frozen bolt
Your torch burns bright in the killing cold
Two night owls working 'til the dawn
Strangers bound by the jobs we own
Solder and grease under neon light
We build our worlds in the dead of night
Copper foil and a bacon fat sheen
The brightest colors you've ever seen
Solder and grease, just you and me
Making beauty where none should be
Red checkerboard booth waits for the rush
Your panel glows in a copper blush
Lead lines hold the fractured pieces tight
Like eggs held firm in a morning light
[Pre-
Wrench turns slow on a frozen bolt
Your torch burns bright in the killing cold
Two night owls working 'til the dawn
Strangers bound by the jobs we own
Solder and grease under neon light
We build our worlds in the dead of night
Copper foil and a bacon fat sheen
The brightest colors you've ever seen
Solder and grease, just you and me
Making beauty where none should be
Rain taps rhythm on the tin roof shed
Flux fumes rise where the glass is fed
You speak in hues of ruby and gold
My language speaks in bacon sold
Midnight coffee in a chipped white cup
You sip it slow, I drink it up
No words needed, the work speaks plain
Two silent hearts in a gasoline rain
Gasoline rain, gasoline rain
Solder and grease under neon light
We build our worlds in the dead of night
Copper foil and a bacon fat sheen
The brightest colors you've ever seen
Solder and grease, just you and me
Making beauty where none should be
Sunrise paints the pump handles pink
You pack your tools, I stop to think
The window catches the copper wire
A masterpiece born from flame and wire
Solder and grease under neon light
We built a world in the dead of night
Copper
