Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain slicks the chrome on Fifth and Main
Static hums beneath the sodium stain
Meter's running, wheels don't lie
Night city breathes a lullaby
Dial spins slow through static seas
Concrete canyons swallow pleas
Cabbie knows each pothole's tune
Midnight shift ends way too soon
Signal breaks in Static Alley
Ghost voice calls through wet and rally
Tune the knob, catch the phrase
Lost transmission, neon haze
Signal breaks in Static Alley
Antenna bent on rusted roof
Silver thread, a silver proof
Fare paid in cryptic code
Heavy bass on dirt road
Signal breaks in Static Alley
Ghost voice calls through wet and rally
Tune the knob, catch the phrase
Lost transmission, neon haze
Signal breaks in Static Alley
Numbers station counts in threes
Coordinates for eyes that see
Driver checks his rearview glass
Watches shadows, watches pass
Signal breaks in Static Alley
Ghost voice calls through wet and rally
Tune the knob, catch the phrase
Lost transmission, neon haze
Signal breaks in Static Alley
Fingers bleed on nylon strings
Double bass the midnight brings
Glockenspiel like distant stars
Healing all the radio scars
Dawn cracks pale on horizon line
Frequency falls back in time
Meter stops, the engine cools
Another night, another rules
Signal breaks in Static Alley
Ghost voice calls through wet and rally
Tune the knob, catch the phrase
Lost transmission, neon haze
Signal breaks in Static Alley
Signal breaks in Static Alley
Static fades to morning gray
Cab rolls on another day
