You lean against the cold glass pane
The street is drowned in heavy rain
You hold the lens to catch the glow
Where all the midnight currents flow
You are waiting for the spin to stop
Watching every heavy water drop
Caught in static blue and humming gold
A story that the city never told
The diner sign is humming loud
Beneath a thick and velvet cloud
You count the coins inside your hand
A stranger in a foreign land
You are waiting for the spin to stop
Watching every heavy water drop
Caught in static blue and humming gold
A story that the city never told
The soap is swirling in the drum
Your tired fingers start to hum
You map the cracks upon the floor
And watch the wind push through the door
You are waiting for the spin to stop
Watching every heavy water drop
Caught in static blue and humming gold
A story that the city never told
The bus is late by twenty light
You keep the focus sharp and tight
A blurry frame of silver grey
Before the night turns into day
The humming light begins to shake
A sudden snap a sudden break
The world is loud the air is thin
The heavy water rushing in
You pack the film and shut the case
The rain has washed away the trace
You step outside the sliding door
And you don't look back anymore
You are waiting for the spin to stop
Watching every heavy water drop
Caught in static blue and humming gold
A story that the city never told
Static blue and humming gold
Static blue and humming gold
(Static Blue)
