Track Insight / Lyrics
I sit here by the coffee pot
The midnight air is getting hot
I watch the boots on vinyl floors
While regulars walk through the doors
Click clack, counting every beat
Steel keys dancing to the street
One more step and then a chime
Keeping track of wasted time
The cook is flipping greasy eggs
The tired waitress shakes her legs
A businessman in charcoal grey
Just waits for light to start the day
Click clack, counting every beat
Steel keys dancing to the street
One more step and then a chime
Keeping track of wasted time
A trucker stops to wipe his face
A lonely ghost in this old place
He leaves a nickel on the tray
Then turns his heavy rig away
Click clack, counting every beat
Steel keys dancing to the street
One more step and then a chime
Keeping track of wasted time
My ribbon's dry, my ink is thin
I feel the morning rush begin
The diner clock begins to spin
The same old story starts again
Click clack, counting every beat
Steel keys dancing to the street
One more step and then a chime
Keeping track of wasted time
Click clack, just a metal sound
Feet keep moving on the ground
